Hi! We’re Anne and Christy. Two great friends who have discovered the joys, challenges, and rewards of taking to the trails of the beautiful Adirondack and Catskill mountains here in New York. You can probably guess from the title of our blog that we aren’t a couple of twenty-something gals who’ve been rock climbing and backpacking our whole lives. Nope … we reached that wonderful stage of life when you can take a breath, look back on all that has been accomplished so far and say, “OK, what can I do next?”. Its natural at this point in life to look for some new hobbies or activities to stay active and enrich one’s life. For us the answer was hiking!
We hope you’ll follow our travels on this “Expedition” as we explore the mountains, trails, fire towers, waterfalls, and many other destinations the Adirondacks and Catskills have to offer. Our goal is to encourage our fellow “midlifers” to lace up your boots and embark on your own outdoor adventure! If you’re looking for inspiration, wondering how to get started, or need recommendations on what trails to try out, you’ve come to the right place to begin your midlife expedition!
