Who We Are + What We Do

What we love to bring to you:

Giving back to the hiking community has always been a passion for both of us. While sidelined from our typical weekend jaunts for several weeks (Erik’s pesky knee) over the summer, we began an addictive journey of becoming Trail Angels. Setting up chairs, hauling coolers with seltzer & water, watermelon, apples, oranges, bananas along with a slew of various energy bars, we began meeting some of the most incredible folks at our local Appalachian Trail crossing.

We were hooked!

We quickly discovered that every hiker we met had a 100% unique reason for braving the elements and seeking their place on trail. Day-hikers, Thru-hikers, Red-liners, Climbers, Ramblers.. their all amazing in their own way!

Follow along and stop back often for new tales from the trails, reports from some of our memorable hikes and climbs, as well as stunning photography from our four-season outings!
