That's a wrap on the Tahoe Rim Trail! This has been an amazing 175 miles, and this trail taught me a lot:

1. I like hiking with Renee more than I like hiking alone, even though there was something nice about spending lots of time in my head. Still, my original plan was to close this trip with a kayak down from the mountains, but Renee and I decided it will be more fun to postpone that until we can do it together!

2. I’m not invincible — I had to take 5 days off due to injury, and that injury was preventable. I should have listened to my body and reduced mileage when I felt pain.

3. It’s not necessary to travel across the country for an adventure. We don’t live very far from Tahoe, so going into this it didn’t feel as epic as usual. But that was wrong — the TRT was remarkable, and in hindsight I know that everywhere we’ve lived has had great opportunities right nearby.

There's a lot more details about the TRT, including my full gear list and write-ups of each day, on our website: thruhikers.co/

Tahoe Rim Trail Days 1 & 2:

Our plan for this summer was to each do a solo adventure — even though we almost always hike as a team, most thruhikers embark on their trips solo, so we wanted to learn what that experience is like. My trip is the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT). I chose this trail because it’s supposed to be beautiful, it’s a distance that I could tackle without taking too much time off work, and I LOVE the Sierras.

My blog post for days 1 & 2 is here: thruhikers.co/trt-days-1-2/

I'll keep the posts and videos coming for the entire TRT!

PS: There are still a few spaces open at our upcoming in-person events in Silicon Valley (9/10), Seattle (9/11), and Bellingham (9/14). We hope to see you there! thruhikers.co/events

We did a deep-dive of the data Renee collected on her women’s unsupported speed record of the Pacific Crest Trail through Oregon!

Key takeaways:
1. Lighter pack = more miles
2. Shorter steps = faster
3. Renee needs more sleep!

Our backpacking guide and recipe book hits shelves ONE WEEK from today!

We wrote this book to to share what we've learned through so many miles of life on the trail. The book lets us go into much more detail than we are able to fit into any 60-second video.

There's still time to pre-order and get your copy delivered on launch day!

We've also started setting up a few in-person events to meet with you and talk about the book (and sign copies)! The first events are in California, but check back soon because there will be more to come. thruhikers.co/events

Two things

1. I (Renee) just posted the detailed write-up for days 10-12 of my FKT attempt on our website: thruhikers.co/ .
Photo 1 - From the post: In the heat of summer, there's still sooo much snow up high.


2. Tonight we are going LIVE on Talk Shop Live to talk about our book, which hits shelves in two weeks! talkshop.live/channels/thruhikers .
Photo 2 - The set up for our live: You'll be "sitting" in the chairs, and we'll be on the couch.


Note: I am posting my FKT attempt on a short delay (for safety), which you can tell because this live will be from our living room. We won't reveal any spoilers about the outcome though!

Oregon PCT unsupported speed record attempt days 7-9 are complete! Mile mileage is getting higher now that my pack is lighter. I walked through snow, desolated burn areas from past fires, and dealt with vicious mosquitos. More details and photos on my latest blog post! thruhikers.co/
