Hi I’m Justin and I am from Vancouver, Washington. In 2025 I created this website in before attempting to hike both the Appalachian Trail and Continental Divide Trail in one year. I started hiking on February 6th, and on September 19th I accomplished my goal.
I tracked my hike on Garmin, Strava, and Instagram. Links are listed below.
I tracked every hiking day via satellite in 30 minute intervals using a Garmin InReach Mini 2. All of these tracking points can be viewed using my Garmin MapShare link below.
Strava is a fitness tracking social media site. I recorded my hiking activity every day while on trail. I used a 4-second tracking interval on my Garmin Enduro 3 GPS watch.
I posted on Instagram semi-frequently throughout the hike. Usually I would post whenever I was in a town to resupply and charge electronics. Now that I am back home and getting back into normal life, I am not posting as frequently. Instagram is convenient to keep friends and family updated, and it is a good way to exchange contact info and stay in touch with people I met on the trail. I will likely post periodic updates on there, but it is a soul sucking doom-scroll machine that I am trying not to spend too much time on so I probably won’t be as active on there as I was while thru-hiking.
