Hi, I’m Dani. I am 37 years old and hiking the Continental Divide Trail heading southbound from Canada to Mexico. I expect the trip to take about 5 months. I have previously hiked the Arizona trail (AZT NOBO Spring 2025), Appalachian Trail (AT 2024 NOBO), and John Muir Trail (JMT NOBO Summer 2021). If you see me on trail you will know me by my trail name “JOY”. I will be sharing my experiences here. Thanks for visiting!
