39 Hikes I completed in 2022

Whewww!

Wow, wow, wow!! I wanted to share all of the hikes that I completed in 2022, but I thought that I was going to share like 15 hikes!! It turns out I was just 12 hikes short of a hike per week! Not all of the hikes are super difficult, some are literally view points or super short! But, in the hopes of transparency I wanted to show you that hiking often doesn't have to be summiting mountains or trekking in remote spaces

My Hiking and camping tips

My go-to hairstyle for all around adventures!

What to wear while camping? Here are my favorite camping baselayers - especially for chilly nights that you might encounter in the Grand Teton National Park. Picking a tent? Read all about my tips, tricks, and recommendations for choosing your backcountry or front-country tent. AND, if tents aren't your jam, then here is a post ALLLLLL about hammocks that you are going to want to read: What You Need To Know About Hammock Camping

Picking a sleeping bag? Comfort is key when camping! I want to snuggle up in a sleeping bag and never feel cold - these are my recommendations for achieving that cozy feeling. Picking a sleeping pad? The purpose of a sleeping pad is to keep you off the ground. The ground can suck your body heat from you, so you want to have distance between you and the ground. The sleeping pad serves as an insulating barrier. This is a necessity when camping in colder temps and GREAT for comfort.
