Wednesday Walk Issue 6: Pick Your Route, Pack the Shoes, and Go

Three people who did not wait for perfect conditions. A climb, a mountain walked up on foot for a few minutes of sunset, and a weekend with no plan.

For this issue, we followed three adventurers. None of them waited for perfect conditions. None of them had a highly optimized plan. They picked their routes, packed the right shoes, and went.

Here's what they came back with.

The List · The Summit · The Escape

THE LIST with @iamoneness11

Some people make travel lists. Fewer people actually do them. @iamoneness11 is the second kind. She had a climb on her list - a specific trail, a magnificent view she'd been holding onto - she went and did it.

Miles on the shoes. One less thing to wonder about.

Built for the distance between the trailhead and the view up top - flexible, cushioned, the shoe you forget you're wearing until you're already at the top.

THE SUMMIT with @rejoiceinjoy

@rejoiceinjoy hiked hours up a mountain to watch the sun go down for a few precious minutes. She scaled the mountain not by car and not by gondola.
On foot, earning every last shade of orange at the top.

She reports it was worth it. We believe her.

THE GETAWAY with @jesscharmian

@jesscharmian looked at her weekend, found it mostly empty, and decided that was a green light to get packing. Rooster Bootie on her feet. Rooster Duffle on her shoulder. Directions: get lost.

Sometimes the best trips are the ones you figure out on the way.
