Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. #delicatearch #archesnationalpark #sunset

We walked for days, then weeks, then months. We walked on tired feet, on sore knees, on bodies worn by 2600 miles. We walked as the elks bugled across the valleys, as the leaves turned yellow and fell, as the cold rain froze into white snow. But we walked to the end. Happy ten year anniversary to all those crazy, loving people who walked with me on the Pacific Crest Trail. #pct #pacificcresttrail #thruhiking #outoforder #hikertrash #pct07

There is something about the Winds that always whispers to me, "come back, you haven't seen us all yet." #backpacking #windriver #cdt

When I met Marisol in law school, she was a city girl from Miami who had barely hiked in her life. We bonded over costume parties and "dancing like we were in Miami." A few weeks ago, we were togeher again, this time walking along the Continental Divide as a dark, angry storm rolled over us. I turned back and snapped this picture as hail fell around us. This was a hard moment on our seven day hike. The hail stung her frozen hands, turning them red. The rain soaked into us. Thunder rolled through the clouds to reminded us how small we are. I've been so lucky to be surrounded by amazing, adventurous women in my life, from my mom who dragged me across the Grand Canyon when I was ten to long distance hikers that think nothing of walking across countries to friends like Marisol who have the guts to adventure outside even when it was never something they were raised to do. A moment after this picture, she looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back. She had the same big smile I remembered from law school when we'd be bouncing around some dance floor in ridiculous costumes. I looked up at the storm and laughed it off. With her smile, I knew we'd be ok. It rained six of the seven days. It hailed five. Her smile never faded. Here's to all the amazing women like Marisol that are out in the wilderness making it theirs. #wcw #adventure #hiking #backpacking #womenoutdoors #badass #alsoanincrediblelawyer #noseriouslysheismyfirstphonecallfromjail #friendship #positiveattitudeweighsnothing

Ok, Smokey, looking like you're about to go set some fires of your own. #sexy #hot #fire #smokeythebear

Me: "I think we can just go cross country here..." Marisol: "I trust you." Also me: "You sweet summer child." #shedidntkillme #futureofthruhiking #routesnottrails #whereisthetrail #hiking #backpacking #colorado
