Bell climbs Crab Eyes | Hike 14
It would be hard not to notice that I got a puppy. Her name is Bell. But she's not just any puppy, she's a puppy who loves the Wichita Mountains like I do. She's an adventure puppy. I am a proud dog mom.

I went to meet some friends out for a hike Saturday and I somehow missed them at Sunset parking lot so Britney, Bell and I set out for Crab Eyes anyway. We ended up running into my friends Shannon and her brother Stacy while on Crab Eyes. Bell made it to the top! I'm so proud. Here's the photo story.

Jan One | Hike 01
The Jan One hike has become a tradition for me. This was my third year in a row. My friends Britney and Jessica joined me on a cold morning. I think it was 7ºF when we woke up that day.

The Jan One hike has become a tradition for me. This was my third year in a row. My friends Britney and Jessica joined me on a cold morning. I think it was 7ºF when we woke up that day. We hiked in Spanish Canyon because it always gets a bit warmer there. We laughed and found new places. I broke my GoPro first time out. Inspired by Jessica’s hikes in 2015, I decided I would do 52 hikes this year. Jessica tells me there’s a patch you can get. She says it’s based on the honor system, but she’d never wear the patch if she hadn’t really. That’s the just type of dirtbag I hike with.
Christmas Eve Eve in Spanish Canyon
Angie LaPaglia and I got away from wrapping presents for a while and explored some new places around Spanish Canyon on Christmas Eve Eve.

Getting Lost
I lead a hike to Spanish Canyon on Sunday. I turned right when I should have turned left. What a great mistake that turned out to be.

Women of Rock
I went on a great hike to Granite Mountain in my beloved Wichita Mountains with Angie LaPaglia, Paulina Ćwik, Britney Neubecker, and De Cooper. It’s a longer trek than some with a lot of small spaces to crawl through. At some point the term “Women of Rock” came to mind as I had this amazing adventure with three tough women.
Women of Rock
and De Cooper
I went on a great hike to Charon’s Garden Mountain in my beloved Wichita Mountains with Angie LaPaglia, Paulina Ćwik, Britney Neubecker, and De Cooper. It’s a longer trek than some with a lot of small spaces to crawl through. I was the largest so there were some spots I could not make it through but was there to document as much as I could. At some point the term “Women of Rock” came to mind as I had this amazing adventure with three tough women. They were crawling through rough places I couldn’t make it through. We were all banged up and some of us were bleeding, we faced fears, but we loved the adventure. These three strong women made me think of all the other tough women I hike with like Claire Bridges Springer, Lisa Middleton, Jessica Peterson, Shannon Trout, Amberlee Darold, Susanne Bogle, Rachel Hunter, Breeze Kelley, Sophy Hackney, Anna Paraskevopoulos, Betsy Hunter, Cat Cray, and more. I salute you all, you “Women of Rock.”
