"I started this challenge at the beginning of January as a fun thing, not having any idea how the world was going to take a crazy turn. I lost my job, struggled to find my purpose, my gym closed, and as an extrovert really fell into a depression about not being able to interact with anyone.
But despite feeling like I’d lost everything in my life important to me, I had one thing left and I latched on hard to it - hiking, and Mother Nature. When I had nothing else I had the trails. I started this challenge as a fun list to check off, but over the months it became my saving grace. I will be forever grateful to the 52 Hikes Challenge for carrying me through this challenging year!"

"I documented it on Instagram! I have OCD and couldn’t possibly not finish if I was stringing everybody along like that! I guess that’s accountability 👌 "
