Hi, I'm Lydia!
I share free, in depth guides to US national parks, outdoorsy city itineraries, road trip routes, hiking tips and more!
I’m originally from Cincinnati, OH, last lived in Dallas, TX, but now have been traveling full-time for 2.5 years. I didn’t grow up hiking, but it has become my favorite activity as an adult. Learn more about my story in my bio!
Hiking in all 50 States
I have the goal to hike in all 50 states!
So far, I’ve hiked in 49 states, and I absolutely love that this goal has encouraged me to explore places I might not have considered before. From ladder hikes to Indiana to badlands in Kansas to bayous in Lousiana, I truly believe that every single US state has something unique and beautiful to offer.
