I’m Emily, the photographer and writer behind the blog!

I discovered my love of hiking in Washington State, but nowadays you can mostly find me in my home range, the Sierra Nevada. I love exploring in so many ways: thru-hiking, road-tripping, day hiking, and more!

Whether you’re a complete beginner or have been backpacking for years, I hope my guides, trip reports, and gear reviews inspire you to get outside and enjoy the beautiful public lands around us.
