“Storyteller” is heading back on trail to create the second edition of Field Notes, a series of storytelling expeditions. This summer, "Storyteller" will hike approximately 500 miles on the Colorado Trail while developing her upcoming project, Field Notes: Across Natural Skyscrapers.

Field Notes: Across Natural Skyscrapers is a collection of stories from a 500-mile trek along the Colorado Trail. This project will document the trail as it is experienced: through a series of encounters and human connections in natural landscapes. To capture the vastness of the Colorado Trail, Field Notes: Across Natural Skyscrapers will culminate in a multimedia mosaic of trail stories. 

Sometimes called “mile for mile the most beautiful trail in America,” the beauty of the Colorado Trail is not only found in the scenic views and wildlife, but in the human connections, rich history, passionate volunteers, and one-of-a-kind trail experience. Learn more about the trail's conservation and history at the Colorado Trail Foundation website.

Stay tuned for the full project coming soon. Follow along @storytellerfieldnotes on Instagram and Facebook, and visit the project webpage and hiking blog for updates.

Thank you to the Colorado Trail Foundation, the Tisch Drama Community Engaged Summer Grant, and the NYU Changemaker Fellowship for making this storytelling expedition possible. Happy trails!
