Hiking vs. College

Hey there everyone, just wanted to give you a quick update in between classes! As many of I transferred up to University of Idaho a few months ago. I have been CRAZY busy with classes and unfortunately have not made much time for hiking. When I do have the chance though, I make my way up to the brisk Moscow Mountain- an endless trail system belonging mainly to UI’s experimental forest. When it was snowy I did a lot of snowshoeing down in S. and Central Idaho, but now thanks to the sunshine the snow is melting and my hiking boots are coming back out!

I am extremely excited to get back on the trails- especially in Central Idaho- but still have two more weeks of school.  As for my summer, I will be helping to manage EBL’s new Zip-line course down in Eagle, Idaho! While making money, this will also add to my recreation work experience required for my degree of Conservation Science. (Plus I LOVE the rush of zipping!) …and I just invested in a GoPro to document my daily adrenaline rush!!!

Well, hope everyone is doing great and stoked on summer being so close.Thankfully, college is almost done so posts will become more frequent again. For now, y’all can check out my (COLD) semester’s hikes/ explorations below and start getting in shape for what summer brings!

P.S I have also included a sneak peak to my  Spring Break Trip Blog Post which I will try to get out ASAP!

Well, that about sums it up! This state has so much to offer its nearly overwhelming!  For my “Sneak Peak” check out Delicate Arch of Arches National Park in Utah. I hiked 20.2 miles, and mountain biked 15.6 over the course of a three day trip with my dad over break. It was awesome, and all the details will be coming soon!:)

Explore on!
