Maryanne Heath Profile Picture

Hello, fellow adventurers! I’m Maryanne Heath, a passionate hiker, nature enthusiast, and the writer behind this blog. My love for the great outdoors and hiking started as a child when family vacations meant exploring national parks and traversing trails. These early experiences cultivated a deep appreciation for nature’s beauty and an insatiable thirst for adventure that’s only grown over the years.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of hiking trails around the globe, each journey bringing a unique blend of challenges, breathtaking views, and invaluable lessons. I became a certified hiking guide to help others discover the joy of hiking and the peace it brings. However, I soon realized that my passion for writing could enable me to reach and inspire a larger audience.

Through this blog, I bring to you a wealth of experiences and knowledge. From detailed trail reviews and safety tips to advice on hiking gear, my aim is to equip you with everything you need to have a fulfilling hiking experience. Whether you’re a seasoned trekker or a beginner stepping onto the trail for the first time, this blog is designed to inspire, inform, and accompany you on your hiking journey.

When I’m not hiking or writing about hiking, you can find me birdwatching, practicing landscape photography, or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea. Hiking is more than a hobby for me; it’s a way of life that constantly teaches me resilience, mindfulness, and respect for nature. And I hope, through this blog, to pass these invaluable lessons on to you.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I’m thrilled to have you join me on this adventure, one step, one trail, at a time. You can reach me here.

Happy trails,

Maryanne Heath
