About

Hi! I’m Audrey, but on trail I’m known as Glowstick. In 2018, I quit my amazing job in Washington, D.C., to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, and I loved every second of it. Now, I’m living the dream in Boulder, Colorado, hiking, backpacking, skiing, climbing, and paddleboarding in my free time, and dreaming of my next big adventure. I’ve also gone on to thru-hike several other trails, including the Colorado Trail, John Muir Trail, Wonderland Trail, Foothills Trail, and more, and I’m here to share my joy for the great outdoors and adventures big and small. I share hiking trail spotlights (especially trails in Colorado), information about thru-hiking, hiking gear recommendations, backpacking tips, and more. Follow me on Instagram for my latest photos and most up-to-date experiences. Check out my Appalachian Trail memoir, “Where the Rhododendrons Bloom,” to find out what it’s really like to hike the Appalachian Trail!
