Let’s get out there!
I’m Hannah, a New York based outdoor enthusiast. I write about hiking trail reports, thru-hike journals, and gear recommendations.

I get asked a lot about the best hikes for beginners to do, so I figured, why not make a post about it? I love hiking in the Adirondacks and I want to make sure they are accessible to other people. So this post will be a ranked list of beginner hikes in the Adirondacks…

I talk about hiking and thru hiking a fair amount. I normally get the questions “do you go alone?” “aren’t you scared?” and “what do you do about bears???” These are relatively easy and comfortable questions to answer. But recently I was talking with someone who reads my blog, and they asked “what do you…

On day 53 we ended up getting a hotel room so we wouldn’t have to camp in our tents on our zero. We got a ride to town and had huge breakfasts. They were delicious. I had a huge homemade cinnamon roll, probably the best one I’ve ever had. We hung out in town for…

Day 49 started off later than our usual mornings. We all woke up in our room around 6:30 and relaxed in the comfy beds. Around 8:30 the bunkhouse delivered juice, apples, and warm homemade donuts to our room. It was tasty. The donuts were from town and delicious. We all left the room around 9…

On day 42, October 13th, we left Big Bear Lake. Kenny drove us back to trail around noon. The trail was pretty cruisey and the weather was perfect. We hiked 7 miles to our first water source and had lunch. I stole Zack’s idea while we were resupplying in town and bought some bread and…

Day 37 was a zero day. We slept in and then went to town around 11. We had lunch at The Yodeler and then free coffee at The Grind. A lot of towns/stores on the PCT have discounts or free items for PCT hikers and The Grind was one of them! We sat and drank…

Day 32 ended great! We got to the rv park around 4:30. We all jumped into the frigid pool for a pre rinse before our showers. We pre rinsed our clothes before washing them too. It felt nice to take a shower and wash my hair, I had gotten pretty dirty from walking through all…

I ended up zeroing on day 27! Jason’s house was the ultimate hiker paradise. Hot tub, pool, big couches, lots of candy, coffee, loaner clothes, showers, laundry. Plus I met three new hikers, Gams, Zack, and Stewart. So we all zeroed at his place which was nice. It felt great to relax in the hot…

On day 18 I got to Kennedy Meadows to resupply. I sent my bear can home which cost about $22, a lot less than I thought it would! I saw a lot of snobos (northbound hikers that flipped because of the snow) that were finishing their hike. It was cool to see them excited to…

Day 16 was nice and relaxing as I zeroed in Lone Pine. It’s a nice little place with lots of history and character! I ran into lots of fellow hikers which was nice. I relaxed most of the day and made minimal errands. Day 17 I went to the post office to get some packages!…
