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.

In the Clouds: Table Top and Phelps
In June the mountains are always calling but with a last-minute trip to Boston to visit with some family and then a vacation in Maine I decided to use a vacation day and squeeze in another hike in the ADKs. … Continue reading

Colvin and Blake. Done and Done.
A three-day long weekend in October equaled another great chance to check two more mountains off my list: Colvin and Blake. I loved Colvin – beautiful Gill Brook Trail does not disappoint. Several hard scrambles but nothing too bad. And … Continue reading
