Peru, how we loved you! This South American country is magnificent, ancient, welcoming, and rich in its people and traditions. Hiking the Salkantay Trail was challenging, emotional, spiritual, and utterly life affirming. Here is a photo diary of our adventure.

11 women hiked and backpacked the North Rim, Yosemite Falls, Mariposa Grove the Giant Sequoias, and the Mist Trail in June. This is our photo diary.
MULTI-SPORT MOAB
What inspires you? For me, it’s witnessing 14 of my girlfriends face their fears… on 200 ft cliff faces, or fins with seriously steep drop-offs on each side, or on raging, raft-flipping waves . From June 8 to 13, 2019, the Tredsup sistas hit Moab, Utah hard on a multi-sport trip that featured hiking, rafting,Continue reading “MULTI-SPORT MOAB”
Banff Hiking Photo Diary 2018
This is a favourite pic. The lakes are bright blue due to glacial silt. Canada, in all her majesty… The seracs, which are blocks of glacial ice which are formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier, posed a threat so we gave them a wide berth.
PREPPING FOR BACKCOUNTRY BANFF TRIP
I am one of 15 women excitedly preparing to hike the backcountry of Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada, in three weeks.

Gros Morne National Park, Here We Come!
Celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday this summer, 15 of my fellow sistas and I will hike Gros Morne National Park, on the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada, for five days, with a half day of kayaking Bonne Bay (8 km) for good measure. Hopefully, we’ll see our share of minke whales, eagles, terns, mink, mergansers and kingfishers.
Hike in the Berkshires around Kripalu Center between workshops
The grounds surrounding the Kripalu are equally as beautiful and offer some great day hiking. Here are some pics from my solo trek on the trails of Tanglewood one sunny afternoon, in the Berkshires north of the Center, on Old Baldhead Road to Monk’s Pond, and on the Burbank Trail.
Hiking and Family Fun in Loreto, Baja Sur
Liv and Ryan, our two teens, and I took a guided hike into Tabor Canyon. It’s about 10 km south of Loreto and is a big watershed for the Sierra de la Giganta. It is strewn with monstrous boulders and loose, crumbling volcanic rock and requires free climbing, ropes work, steady feet, a few leaps of faith and crossing water pools. The payoffs are stunning views of the mountainous desert canyon and ocean, from 1000 ft in elevation.
Hitting the Trails in Sedona, Arizona
When hiking Sedona, you don’t want the day to end because Mother Nature has dipped her paintbrush in vibrant ochre.
