Hi! My name’s Clare ( trail name, Aqua) and I’m thru hiking the PCT. I currently call Colorado home but am originally from the cornfields of rural Indiana and went to college in upstate NY where I studied Sociology, English, and Education. When not thru hiking, I enjoy working in the non profit sector (most recently doing anti hunger work), cooking, trail running, reading lots of poetry, and spending obnoxious amounts of time in coffee shops!
