About me

The Trekking Mama

Hi! I am Teri.

I started hiking with my kids strapped to my back. Now they're older, less interested, and I'm chasing new goals — the Wonderland Trail, the High Lakes Route, another section of the PCT. I've learned you don't need a partner, a van, or unlimited free time to tackle bucket-list trails. You just need a plan. I'm here to help you make elusive adventures feel attainable.

☕ Like what you see? If my trail guides, gear tips, or trip ideas have helped you plan an adventure—or inspired one—I’d be so grateful if you’d consider “buying me a coffee.” It helps fuel the blog (and my backcountry caffeine habit). Thank you for supporting The Trekking Mama! Buy Me a Coffee ☕
