Hello and welcome!

My name is Nicolette Jones. In 2020 I thru hiked the Continental Divide Trail and started a blog to keep in touch with friends and family while I was out on that adventure. This website is an extension of that original blog. When I was preparing for that hike, I read lots of blogs, gear list, informational texts and books to prepare for my hike. As I take part in other adventures I find I have more and more to contribute to the outdoor recreation conversation. I hope you find something helpful here whether it be informational, inspirational, or just entertainment! I love hearing from friends, so please leave questions and comments or reach out via email!
