My final hike on the Appalachian Trail up Mt. Katahdin required me to use everything I learned about keeping calm during a storm.

Some hiking pics from Lion Mountain in Whitefish, MT near where my boyfriend David lives. We went cross country skiing last weekend too, but I trusted myself 0% to bring my phone and not destroy it. I fall a lot.
Very sun-squinty, very happy. My first winter in Montana has shaped up nicely, even though I spend most of my time alone in a cottage. After such a challenging year, seeing these views and spending time with this beautiful bearded man feel even more special. I hope 2020 had some surprise highlights for you too!
Hiking along Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana. I’ve been hearing about the massive lake since I moved to MT and it didn’t disappoint. I took Pic #3 about 4 miles up a mountain trail and love how the blues of the lake, mountains, and sky blend into one another. I need to camp near this beauty before it gets too cold.
Some pictures from my overnight solo backpacking trip to Big Creek Lake, about an hour south of Missoula. I passed a group of four on horseback the first day before lunch and didn’t see another person until I neared the trailhead on my return hike the following afternoon. So far as I could tell, I had the whole lake to myself. These mountains and wildflowers were soul food. Especially the pink fireweed, my favorite plant!
Getting ready for a mountain lake swim. Grey skies all morning hiking up to the lake, then, perfection. More pics of the outrageously beautiful hike to follow!
Missoula is the first place I’ve lived with a trailhead four blocks from my apartment. These field views are keeping me company while I find my community in town, not the easiest when so many people here seem willfully unconcerned about that little pandemic going around (perhaps you’ve heard of it). Thanks, Empty Fields! See ya soon.
