White Mountain Guide Day 60

Today I hit 200,000’ of elevation gain and although I didn’t realize this until after I got home, I am just in awe. I look back at the last sixty hikes, and they feel like a blur and at the same time they hold so many memories I couldn’t possibly pick one day that meant the most to me. The trails were beautiful today. I’ve never hiked Parker Trail, Langdon, or Stairs Col and all three blew me away. I revisited Davis Path for a brief stretch of trail, and instantly was brought right back to 2019 and a transforming overnight on Isolation via Davis Path. These trails hold so many memories for me. They are the setting of hundreds of good and bad days, they are where I have gone consistently since 2015 and I can’t imagine life without them. I am so grateful that I get to spend the next eleven months hiking multiple times a week in my beloved White Mountains.
