2022 in review: how thru-hiking the AT affirmed, c

2022 in review: how thru-hiking the AT affirmed, challenged, and changed us.

It is already 2023 and somehow we finished thru-hiking the AT over 2 months ago. It feels like a distant dream. For our most recent blog post (link in bio), we went back through our journals from the AT and compiled our reflections into 10 takeaways from the trail that we hope we will carry into our lives off-trail.

1. Slowing down, cultivating mindfulness, and being more present
2. Building confidence and realizing our capacity to handle uncertainty and challenge
3. Seeing the impermanence of everything
4. Appreciating our physical bodies and all they can do and endure
5. Strengthening our minds and bodies and feeling the connection between them
6. Deepening our partnership
7. Being grateful for what we have
8. Building community and contributing to its improvement
9. Connecting deeply with nature
10. Infusing joy and celebration

When hiking, we relished the time we had to deeply consider our priorities and figure out how to craft fulfilling lives for ourselves. Since the trail, we have made small daily changes including: spending more time outside; incorporating movement such as yoga, running, walking, and hiking; practicing meditation; and prioritizing physical space for art and creativity.

The AT certainly was not without challenge. But, we will be forever grateful for the joy and growth we experienced.

Close-ups of some of the incredible plants and flowers in Chile. One of the best parts of backpacking trips with lower mileage days is having the space and time to really slow down, notice what’s around you, and connect with nature.

Day 8 (12/29): Las Torres sunrise!

Seeing Las Torres light up with the sun was a breathtaking experience. We started hiking by headlamp from Refugio Chileno at 3:30am. The climb itself was much steeper than the other climbs from the W Trek. It was rocky and wonderful, reminding us of the terrain in the #whitemountains that we love. We reached the famous towers of Torres de Paine National Park by 5am and spent 2 full hours watching them transform colors as the sun rose. The setting felt otherworldly like it was out of a dream. It was absolutely freezing, but we didn’t care. We were so grateful to get such a clear day and were complete filled by the majesty of this place.

Day 7 (12/28): Hiking from Refugio Los Cuernos to Refugio Chileno

Staying at Refugio Los Cuernos was a highlight! We loved the hiking community vibe there. It was supposed to rain all day, but to our surprise and relief, it was sunny when we emerged from our tent.

Throughout the morning, clouds drifted in and out, passing over the sun and sprinkling rain on us as we walked alongside wildflowers and azure lakes. We took our time today, pausing to meditate, notice our surroundings, feel the strength and the cooling sensations of the wind, and stand in awe underneath a rainbow 🌈

Day 6 (12/27): Hiking from Paine Grande up to Mirador Frances and then to Los Cuernos!

This day of the W Trek in Chilean Patagonia was outrageously beautiful for so many different reasons.

Highlights:
⁃ The most dramatic weather conditions we’ve ever experienced in one day. Sun, rain, hail, snow, rain, and more sun.
⁃ Extraordinarily strong sustained wind! It almost blew us over. You’ll see in that video 😆
⁃ Skeletal white trees leftover from a recent forest fire
⁃ Gorgeous views of Los Cuernos
⁃ Hiking up to Mirador Frances before the clouds rolled in
⁃ Crystal blue lakes

Day 5 (12/26): Trekking on Grey Glacier and hiking

Day 5 (12/26): Trekking on Grey Glacier and hiking back to Paine Grande.

Despite a windy and rainy morning, we were awestruck by our time walking on Grey Glacier! Our guides, @bigfoot.patagonia, brought us there by small boat, equipped us with crampons, ice axes, and helmets, then took us across the ice field to see some spectacular crevasses and ice caves carved by glacial meltwater. Kev’s science nerd self and Kat’s general excitement kept us from feeling the effects of our soaked-through clothes from five hours walking around in the cold rain. It was totally worth the discomfort.

After the glacier trek, we warmed up with soup at the refugio before hiking back to Paine Grande. The sky stayed overcast and spit rain much of the way, but the sun came out in earnest as we reached the field of campsites at the refugio and we even saw some guanacos (a local animal related to llamas) along the way. We got a tent with a direct view of Cerro Paine Grande and Kev wrote this quick poem as we watched the clouds flow over and around the mountain.

Drifting on the wind
Vapor wraps the mountain’s peak
With a gentle hug

Just another magical day in Chilean Patagonia!

Day 4 (12/25): our first day in Torres del Paine National Park in Chilean Patagonia! Our first leg of the W Trek was nothing short of spectacular. Given the volatility of the weather there, we were so grateful to have a sunny first day. It felt like a warm welcome from this stunning place on Earth.

Returning to a trail with loaded packs on our backs felt like coming home. We loved our trail lives on the #appalachiantrail and we will always get that special feeling when we venture into the wilderness together.

To reach the park, we took a bus to a ferry and caught our first glimpses of some of the incredible features that we would hike around for the next few days: Cerro Paine Grande, Los Cuernos, and Las Torres.

The ferry dropped us all at Paine Grande and we hiked the 7ish miles from there to Grey Refugio. It was super hot to start, but after we climbed out of the valley we were greeted by some of the strongest sustained winds with even more powerful gusts. The trail traveled along glacially carved lakes with floating icebergs and passed through areas of incredible wildflowers. All the while, we could see clear views of Grey Glacier in front of us! We rented a tent at the refugio, which was totally worth it when we heard the rain and wind pick through the night.

We spent 11 days in Chile for this winter holiday

We spent 11 days in Chile for this winter holiday to backpack the #wtrek in Patagonia and explore Santiago. It was a trip of a lifetime. Now that we are back we are going to share some highlights! Full blog posts will come soon.

Days 1-3: Santiago to Puerto Natales!

Getting to Torres del Paine National Park in Chile 🇨🇱 to start the W Trek required a lot of schlepping, but we truly enjoyed all of it. We spent one day and night in Santiago then flew to Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres del Paine. Part of why we created our blog and Instagram was not only to document hiking (although, we sure do a lot of that), but also our experiences exploring places near and far on foot. We love to combine outdoor adventure activities with some #urbanhiking.

In less than 24 hours in Santiago, we strolled the city streets and visited the Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino - a highlight of the day. In Puerto Natales, we ate delicious food, walked along Ultima Esperanza Sound until the sun set at 10:30pm, and hiked around the prehistoric Mylodon Caves. The wind was serious and a preview of weather to come. It was really energizing being in a town full of backpackers from around the world buzzing with shared excitement to experience this incredible landscape!

2022 was a big year for us. It shifted our perspectives and priorities in profound ways. We have fully invested in doing what we love and integrating our passions into our lives. Hiking around the world has filled us with so much purpose, grounding, and connection (with nature, each other, and people we’ve met along the way).

From June to November, we thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail and now we closed out the year with an adventure we’ve dreamed about for ages - the W Trek in Patagonia.

Here’s to more in 2023 and beyond!

Today marks one month since we finished the AT. It’s a slow process, but we are starting to find our post-trail rhythm and feel like we can carry who we became on trail into our off-trail lives.

Missing the trail so much. The quiet. The calm. The simplicity. People have asked what our favorite section of the AT was, which is nearly impossible to answer. But if we could relive any part of our thru-hike exactly as it was, we would choose our six day stretch through the 100 Mile Wilderness. We felt so much ease, peace, and happiness.

We took our time, foraged wild blueberries, swam multiple times a day, meditated in pristine nature, went to bed with the setting sun, rose to the call of loons, and camped in solitude every night.

On the AT, we learned so much about being partners

On the AT, we learned so much about being partners. Sometimes that meant talking and laughing. Other times that meant holding space for one another in silence. We took care of each other in small and large ways every day.

It has been just over a week since we finished our thru-hike. And already, it feels like a dream. When hiking all day together, we felt so grounded and in sync with each other and with nature. But now, as we ease back into post-trail life, we feel a bit untethered and disoriented. The number of choices, competing priorities, expectations, and plethora of stimuli have been overwhelming.

We are trying to remember how we supported each other on trail and apply those practices to different contexts off trail. But honestly, it’s difficult and emotional and we are trying to be gentle with ourselves and each other in the process.

Thanks @wanderingdruewest for capturing this moment on Big Bald. It’s one of our favorites.

One Roll, One Day: The Appalachian Trail.

A film by @22ndstreetimaging

Stretch’s brother-in-law and super talented filmmaker, Josh (aka Reel), hiked part of the “roller coaster” section of the AT in Virginia with us and created this film to capture some of our experiences. It is a beautiful glimpse into how we’ve felt about this adventure of a lifetime. And, it is so meaningful to us, especially now that we have finished the trail and miss it so much!

Day 146 (11/10): Springer Mountain! We hiked all 2

Day 146 (11/10): Springer Mountain! We hiked all 2,194.3 miles of the Appalachian Trail running through 14 states from Maine to Georgia in about 4 months and 3 weeks. And now, we are officially thru-hikers!

By the numbers:
- 2,194.3 miles
- 14 states
- 146 days
- 15 zeros (days with no hiking)
- 16.75 miles per hiking day on average
- 2 miles: Shortest hiking day
- 28.5 miles: Longest hiking day
- 464,500 of elevation gain and loss “equivalent to hiking Mt. Everest from sea level and back 16 times”
- 114 nights sleeping outdoors
- 32 nights sleeping indoors

Words can’t fully capture the multitude of feelings we are currently experiencing. So for now, we will say that this was one of the most profoundly impactful experiences of our lives. We hiked every step together from June 18th to November 10th. Along the way, we met incredible people and felt more deeply connected to our minds, bodies, nature, and each other than ever before. Between the elevation, rough terrain, and varied weather conditions, thru-hiking the AT is really hard—mentally, physically, and emotionally. There is no way around that. But, would the rewards, growth, and joy feel as sweet or even be possible without the difficulty? We don’t think so. We will miss the trail, but are ready to apply what we learned to our lives and to embark on the next adventure soon. Until then, time to rest, reflect, and bask in this accomplishment.

The journey continues.

Days 143-145 (11/7-11/9): We made it to Georgia! Cue the final countdown. In the last few days, we:

- Caught up to No Kiddin, Ducky, and Gravy just in time for all of us to hike into our last state!
- Stopped at our last hostel, @hostelaroundthebend (which was awesome)
- Got fed incredible burgers and fries by @freshgroundleapfrogcafe
- Passed through Neel Gap and climbed Blood Mountain
- Hiked 29 miles in a day, our longest yet

It’s hard to describe our feelings right now. We are very much in the midst of processing our emotions. Another storm is coming through, so we readjusted our plans to hike 50 miles in two days to summit Springer a day earlier than planned. We are amazed that our bodies are as strong as they are.

We have loved this thru-hike. And we are ready, in the best of ways, for its inevitable end. Stretch’s sleeping pad has been partially deflating for over a month. Lotus’ trekking poles are held together with tape. Our tent is semi-functional, with safety pins acting as a zipper. It’s time 😂

Days 139-142 (11/3-11/6): Our last few days in North Carolina hiking through Nantahala National Forest.

These days went by in a blur! Time has really started to run together. This section included:
- pouring rain and sunshine
- the 2,100 mile marker
- spooky but beautiful misty trails
- some surprisingly steep climbs
- more shelter sleeping than usual in order to stay “dry” (like that’s possible when everything you have is soaked!)
- staying at a friend’s place (with a hot tub!) to rest up for the last stretch

The wet hiking days at the end of this thru were tough on us physically and mentally. But, we trying to stay present and enjoy these last miles. Less than 100 to go!
