ten things I learned while thru-hiking…

I wrote this right after I had both hips replaced, caught covid and was unsure I’d hike again.

I’m trying something new on the CDT: making my own maps and not bringing a stove.

Backcountry Foodie provides recipes that are nutritious, light-weight, easy to make and cheap.

Summit Orthopedics gave me new hips plus financial support for my upcoming CDT hike.

You can become a supporter of Blissful Hiker as she podcasts from the Continental Divide Trail.

Early spring in Northern Minnesota is a perfect time to test gear and new titanium hips.

Designed for all the places you ‘go,’ the Kula Cloth is an essential piece of gear for female hikers.

Today my podcast is one year old! I’m so happy I revisited my hikes and now it has a new name.
