Day 15: Despite some chilly temps, the full beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains is on display. We are in for a treat these next few days.

Not so far over, the Smoky Mountains await. In mountain peaks, and valleys old. We must away, ere break of day, to climb Clingman’s Dome.

We are at the gates of the Smoky Mountains! Learn more about what tunes/podcasts keeps our energy up while we are hiking up the AT. Some are a little…out there!

Day 12: A gorgeous day at the NOC with real food, new gear, and resupply! Then a 7 mile 3,000 foot climb. YIKES. The AT rollercoaster continues…

Let’s hear some more stories from the crew! Meet Ozark, our Northeast native tracing her roots back north.

Day 10: Officially at double digit days and 120+ miles in. We think our trail legs are starting to come in as 15 milers are a lot easier than they used to be. Shane has officially joined the tramily (trail name pending)!

Day 9: Franklin, NC after a cold morning hike was just what the doctor ordered! Cold beer, good food, and a warm bed (thanks Smokey!) really boosted our spirits. Back at it tomorrow headed for the NOC!

Day 8: NC is already rocking it! Amazing views and fun climbs. Tomorrow we get our first real test BUT can’t wait to hang at a hotel with the Tramily.

NORTH CAROLINA!!! We made it to our second state. Border beers ensued. We had our first real “AT” weather day. The tramily is coming together. The rollercoaster continues!

Day 6: The Zeroest Nero (near Zero, aka few miles on trail) ever at Around the Bend Hostel was the perfect chance to get to know the LEGENDARY thru-hiker Two Spoons. Enjoy getting to know my first trail friend.
