I chose to join a hike with HIKE for Mental Health to help stamp out the stigma of mental illness and conserve wilderness trails. Would you consider making a donation, leaving a message, or sharing this page? Thank you.
I’m joining this hike again because in my first year I really needed this experience much more than I had ever anticipated.. I showed up pretty confident in my hiking ability but extremely nervous to meet so many people for such a powerful event. I went up with Mark Langdon who’s definitely a strong hiker and really handled his group well as a guide/sweeper. I made it back down the mountain a little early and met Dana and Suzanne in the parking lot who had fresh cookies and cold drinks! I must’ve stood in that parking lot for 3 hours talking to these two with such much needed humor and knowledge of the mountains. I’m so looking forward to being a guide/sweeper this year and hopefully giving my group that same sense of comfort that I felt in the face of something very difficult. Can’t wait to help some new people experience the beautiful wild and also reunite with those great people from last year!
