Exploring the Amazing Outdoors!

What's Up? I'm Blake! With over 20,000 miles of long-distance hiking — including thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail (both northbound and southbound), the Pacific Crest Trail, the Pacific Northwest Trail, the Colorado Trail, and MORE. — I've spent the better part of my life on trail. I've also created and completed my own 3,000-mile route from Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon and logged over a year below the rim of the Grand Canyon. Whether you're planning your first overnight or chasing your next thru-hike, you'll find detailed trail guides, real-world gear insights, and practical backpacking tutorials here — all built from years of hard-earned miles.
