Appalachian Trail 2015 Slideshow
Posted on January 5, 2016 by Bekah Barnett
After much delay, I have finished our slideshow from the 2,189 miles on the Appalachian Trail. I know 12 minutes is infinite time in the internet world. But, if you’d like to see, here’s our experience in pictures on the AT.
It just about brings me to tears every time I watch it (which is far too frequently). We are beyond stoked to start the Pacific Crest Trail in April.
Cheers!!

I recognized them as my tribe as soon as we met. They were motivated, hilarious, strong willed, and tough as nails. They inspired me to work harder and endure more while somehow managing to keep the laughs coming the whole way. We didn't expect to keep pace with them but wouldn't allow ourselves to fall behind. We walked over half of the CDT together sometimes leading, sometimes following, sometimes side by side. We piled into cars, shared hotel rooms, ate unbelievable amounts of food. And somehow we're all able to meet up in a few weeks for another one. ▫️

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." ~Mark Twain 🙏🌎

We're getting more and more excited every day for our return to the desert in a couple short months! I was very apprehensive about trekking through sand and sun as we prepared for our 2016 Pacific Crest Trail thruhike. I knew I could do it, but I definitely didn't expect to enjoy it. The desert took me by surprise - fascinating plants, vibrant sunsets, breathtaking starscapes. Since 2016, we've hiked over 1000 desert miles in California and New Mexico. We're thrilled to add another 800 and take in the beauty that exists in the Southwest. See you in March, Arizona. 👣🌞🌵🌎

The things I've seen made me a passionate, unabashed environmentalist, and I'm proud to stand up for what I consider sacred. Join me in standing up for the environment this (and every) year. I'm striving for creating minimal trash, participating in eating practices that do little environmental damage, and giving a voice to the voiceless - the trees that allow me to breathe, the animals that fill me with wonder, the insects that pollinate our food.

Here's to this beautiful planet we're lucky to call our home 🌲🗻🌎

There's nothing more powerful in the world to me than connecting with nature, exploring new places, breathing fresh air. Words can't express my love of being outside, walking through sanctuaries of towering mountains, beautiful forests, and crystal clear lakes. This picture was taken in Wyoming's Wind River Range on the Continental Divide Trail. Bridger Wilderness area is one of the most stunning places I've ever seen. I'll definitely be back to commune with nature there once more. 👣🌲🗻🌎
