“As someone who can’t drive and loves to be outside walking, running and biking, there is a real lack of awareness of how difficult it is to get to ‘outdoor’ opportunities without a car. Kimberly has tapped into a deep need here, both for those of us who don’t have other options, and those who want to recreate more sustainably.

I can’t wait to use these treks to access new and beautiful places throughout our state and our country!”

Now There’s A Transit Trekking Resource Page
I’ve found some jewels that make identifying transit-accessible hiking and other outdoor exploration around the U.S. much easier and compiled them in this resource page. It lives in the main site navigation but I thought I should highlight here. For now, it’s super simple, in an alpha list by state. Canada welcome, too — I…
Surf Report and Survey
I mentioned I’ve been making a point of writing trip reports over at the Washington Trails Association (WTA) site. I had to run some errands in Port Townsend the other day and so had some time to check out a short beach hike. Here’s the trip report. Pro-tip for transit trekkers planning a day trip…
