Hello there! I'm Victoria (she/her) and I'm hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2022 (cue screaming!)! What do I even say about myself? I'm from New England, but Colorado has my heart (I'm moving back first chance I get). I found hiking at a time in my life when I felt stuck and unchallenged and, well... it ruined my life in the best way possible. I'm finally following my dream of starting the PCT and chasing the life I want. Buckle up, kids... we're in for a wild ride!
