Run with heart. Dance with soul. Climb with courage. Still..i rise.
I am a planner. I research. I read. I plan ahead. Those who know me well, know this to be a solid fact. Most of the time. But this past July 4th, we decided to take a last-minute trip to Lake George, a destination that would be a new frontier for us all. So …
We weren't planning to climb any mountains on our "hike out" day from the Johns Brook Lodge. But the weather was lovely and Mallory hadn't hiked Big Slide so... After breakfast and packing up our gear, we hit the trail at 8:35 a.m. There was the debate about whether to hike Big Slide with all …

While the debate whether we had a "real" winter is still up for grabs, I for one, found plenty of winter here in Upstate New York. As March continues to surprise us with its weather, I am brought back to one of my favorite hikes of the season. Back in December, mountain love continued as …
Life is like a cup of tea...it's all in how you make it... So, let's put the kettle on, or in this case, the Jetboil. What do you typically do the day after climbing two high peaks? Some people sleep in. (which we did) Others go shopping. And still others may have to head back …
"Magic happens when you don't give up. Even though you want to. The universe always falls in love with a stubborn heart."- jmstorm Winter hiking is certainly full of magic! On Sunday, February 19th, my dear friend Mallory and I put our stubborn hearts to the test when we set out to climb Mount Skylight …
Sometimes, even the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. - adapted by John Steinbeck Or in this case, of a one woman sans rodents. Once again, the plan was to hike the Dix Range. And this time, it was Columbus Day. I am beginning to think the range is meant for …
