NewsI’ve traveled the world and hiked the most exciting trails…
But the truth is, most of the hikes I’ve taken have been on ordinary trails. I hope you find yourself being pulled outside more than ever and that with each adventure, however small, your heart will burst wide open with joy. Hiking is a bit like life: The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. And if you allow yourself the opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, you will witness beauty every step of the way, not just at the summit.
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” – Edward Abbey
“We don’t stop hiking because we grow old – We grow old because we stop hiking.” – Finis Mitchell
“Somewhere between the bottom of the climb and the summit is the answer to the mystery why we climb.” – Greg Child
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains."John Muir.
