A woman with a backpack stands on a hiking trail, taking in the stunning vista before her - a pristine alpine lake nestled amid towering, snow-capped mountain peaks and dense evergreen forests. The lake's vibrant turquoise waters shimmer in the sunlight, reflecting the rugged peaks and wispy clouds above. Vibrant fall foliage lines the shoreline, adding splashes of fiery red and golden yellow to the scene. The woman appears awestruck by the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds her on this picturesque hiking trail.

Revisiting Natural Wonders on a Roots Tour

#Hiking has taught me that when you get lost, you can retrace your footsteps to find where you came from, and see where you’ve been. I’m currently on a “roots tour” revisiting all of the gorgeous states I’ve lived, seeing them with new eyes and living out new experiences. Returning home to myself and braving the wilderness along the way has been one of the best adventures yet.
