Yosemite Easygoing Hiking & Walking - 9/01 First Trip Lead is done and dusted! My first dolce tempo trip was spent with such a memorable group of guests. 🥹 This trip I finally got to complete some of our iconic hikes to Taft Point and Sentinel Dome, spent plenty of time scouting out bathroom stops, and caught plenty of early morning light in the valley. Here’s to more river swims, tiny coffees and guest bartenders.

Yosemite Hiking & Walking - 8/16 Trip ✌ was full of trail magic, epic sunsets with Half Dome, meeting up with my pal Gerry (the best ice cream machine), and some trail snacks that may or may not have fallen on the ground, and I may or may not have still eaten...

Yosemite Hiking & Walking Tour - 8/9/2026 My first official trip, working as a support leader, was full of selfies, support stops and getting to know the magic behind a Backroads staple - the TBAP (Turkey, Brie, Arugula & Pesto sandwich). Plus...a little trail magic coffee on Day 6 ✨.

🏔 Yosemite Familiarization Trip - August 2026 Views from my 3-day romp around Yosemite preparing for my first trip - learning the ropes of the hikes, getting to know the locals (the trees 😊) and taking too many selfies with Half Dome.

The past two weeks have been one of the most intense, challenging and rewarding experiences of my life during New Leader Training in Salt Lake City. People who started as strangers have now become dear friends, and I can’t wait to see where our roads take us with @backroadstravel.

…and just like that here we go! (feat. the hardest goodbye on 2 & 3) Got to spend an incredible 5 weeks in the mountains with family filled with mountains, training and lots of family time, but excited for what the next couple of weeks hold. 🥳

Between a hectic move, knee surgery, and a loss in the family, May 2026 didn't go exactly as planned. I've now closed out my most recent stint in DC, and I am thrilled to announce some big news I've been sitting on for a number of months now 🤗 Starting in July, I am pursuing my dream job and will be a Trip Leader with @backroadstravel! I'd be delighted to have you follow along on my adventures @ey.on.the.road, wherever they may take me! 🚴🏼‍♀️
