Thru-Hiking Adventures

I’m Veggie and my partner is Karma.

I (Veggie) have thru-hiked since 2008 and Karma since 2014. We love it so much that we re-organized our lives around it.

Recently, we completed the Grand Enchantment Trail (GET).

Last year, we did the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) for ROUND TWO.

We’ll be traveling in our van for the rest of 2023 and stay tuned for 2024 plans 🙂
