BEKKA'S STORY OF GRATITUDE
I could easily say that what I’m most thankful for is time spent outdoors, surrounded by nature’s beauty. How nature and the trail are where my soul feels most alive. How I find balance and grounding in nature. And how hiking has healed my depression and anxiety, along with helping with my balance and vertigo issues. I could say all of that because it’s all true.

Along with having social anxiety, as well as trail anxiety (self doubt about my hiking abilities), I just never wanted to hike with “strangers” from the internet. But I decided to step out of my comfort zone because that’s where real growth happens.
I loved hiking with Grant, Kelly, Ivan, Britt, Joe, and my partner. I’m grateful for the lifelong connections and friendships I made.
