Originally from Illinois flatland Midwest. I moved with my family to Colorado in 2017 and instanting fell in love with hiking. Every mountain I wanted to hike it. My favorite and most challenging hike was Pikes Peak in 2019 13.5 miles with elevation gain of over 7,500 feet.  In 2020 my family and I moved to Arizona. I never stepped foot in the state till 2 days before we moved in. I was very sad and thought I wouldn't enjoy Arizona but I was happily mistaken. Sedona, Flagstaff, Pine and throughout the Valley I have hiked and have over 20+ on my list to conquer. I can't wait!
