After 7,000 miles of thru-hiking, I returned to my hometown in the Adirondack Mountains inspired. Finding a wilderness area under attack, I decided to do something about it... And I'm calling all of us to action to help save it.
It is no secret that I am happiest when on a backpacking trip. However, it wasn't until a period of down time that I saw some of backpacking's deeper benefits, and how they can help my every day life.
