Nutty Hiker Adventures

Hike Every Hike Like It Is Your Last

Hiking, Camping, Travel, & Outdoor Adventure

Welcome to my wild, crazy, and sometimes unbelievable hiking, travel, and military life adventures! Whether you are here to read my wild stories, get the 411 on hiking and hiking gear, or looking for something to do in Central Texas I am sure you will enjoy your time here. =)

In addition to my hiking adventures, you will also find posts about things to do all over the United States as I take my annual 30-day All-American Road Trip!

Sit back, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy my crazy antics on the hiking trail and while I am out exploring all this country has to offer!

Find me on the trails!

Did you meet me on the trails somewhere? Chances are I had you take a picture with me! It’s become a ritual since I started hiking here and you can find all my pictures of the people I run into here on the blog. If you have a picture (or video, yikes!) you want to share (maybe you caught me randomly breaking out a dance move), feel free to message them to me. Right now the best way to do that is through Facebook.
