I'm Katie aka Salty. My love of long trails began on the AT in 2009, and grew deeper while thru-hiking the PCT in 2014, the CT in 2016, and the CDT in 2019, among several shorter routes. I currently call Colorado home. As an online wellness + nutrition coach, I have the satisfying job of helping outdoor enthusiasts create strength, resilience, and endurance for the long haul.
