I LOVE connecting women with the wilderness. I love seeing women come enjoy a hike in God's beautiful creation, discovering not only about God but about themselves. I have completed many long-distance trails and am one of only 25 women to hike the entire Appalachian Trail both north and south. I share my adventures as well as my relationship with God and the miracles I witnessed while in the woods. I offer a PowerPoint presentation as well as ways to enjoy creation through the many trails offered. I offer spiritual lessons as well as how-to hiking and backpacking workshops that allow women to safely hike in the wilderness. I also offer a brand new children's program - "The Ranger and the Bear" where children learn to love the wilderness. I have conducted presentations to school groups, libraries, group workshops as well as outdoor retailers, the National Park Service, and outdoor organizations. Besides my hikes, I served for six years as a ridgerunner taking care of hikers on the Appalachian Trail. I am the author of twenty-five Christian novels and nonfiction, Mountains, Madness, and Miracles - 4000 miles along the Appalachian Trail chronicles my 4000 mile Appalachian Trail adventure with my teenage son as well as a solo hiker and the spiritual lessons we learned. I have also written about my adventures on the Florida Trail - Gators, Guts and Glory.
