Tell us a fun fact about yourself!

In 2023, I hiked ~2300 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail with my partner. We also hiked the Oregon Coast Trail for 3 weeks that summer. In the next few years, we’re planning to tackle some sections of the Pacific Northwest Trail, which runs from the Olympic Peninsula to Glacier National Park and coincidentally passes through some of our favorite local recreation areas along the way.
