About Me
I’m a 30 something living in the metropolis of Burlington, Vermont. Grew up on edge of the Adirondack’s and set packing for six years to the beauty of Montana after high school, to care-free NYC for a couple of years (yeah I didn’t last long – I’m not a lifer) and now in Vermont and settling some roots down.
I’m just starting to hike the ADK High Peaks again and want to document that journey. Will I make it to hitting all 46 of them. Not sure. I’ll probably also post on other things. We’ll see how it goes.

The Little Sister: Esther
Overshadowed by her big brother, Whiteface Mountain, she is often hiked by those on the way to Whiteface and its glorious view. As I read about the trail descriptions I immediately wanted to love this hike. The poor sister being out-shined … Continue reading
