I Hiked Over 70 Miles in October 2024 - Monthly Newsletter


Hey there Reader,

October was an absolute thrill ride!

Between epic hikes, autumn landscapes, and a few new additions to my bucket list, it was one for the books.

I don’t know about you, but I’m holding onto that energy and rolling it right into November! 🍂

If October is anything to go by, November is going to be packed with even more adventure ideas, travel inspo, and a sprinkle of holiday magic to keep our bucket lists growing.

So grab a cozy drink, and let’s dive into all the updates, travel tips, and bucket list highlights waiting for you this month!

Here’s to another month of ticking it off before we kick it! 📝✨

October Updates

If you are wondering what this mermaid has been up to...I've been hiking...a lot.

In fact, I hiked FOUR bucket list hikes just this month:

  • Half Dome, Yosemite National Park (October 3rd) - Psssst you can watch my survival guide 👉 here
  • The Narrows, Zion National Park (October 16th) - My new favorite hike!
  • Angel's Landing & Emerald Pools, Zion National Park (October 22nd) - Here's some Insta360 footage!
  • Rim to Rim, Grand Canyon National Park (October 31st) - I'm still recovering...

Overall, this combined with some smaller hikes equaled over 70 miles of bucket-list hiking all in one month!

WHEW! I'm gonna have some extra turkey this Thanksgiving!
