For this week's #HumansOfCIRES, meet Audrey Payne @audipayne.bsky.social, a communications specialist @nsidc.bsky.social. Audrey is an avid hiker and backpacker, she loves dogs, and she recently self-published a memoir about her thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail! https://cires.colorado.edu/spotlig…

Here's the latest 'trail snow' conditions in the sierra. The very, very dry stretch continues.

Trail snow between Crabtree Mdw & Tuolumne Mdw is at 66% of normal for this time of year.

Let's see what the rest of winter holds:

I have a big adventure coming in 2025! (I'll share soon!). How about you??

Here's an animated 'viewshed' of the #PacificCrestTrail. This shows all visible/invisible terrain along the entire trail. You'll find one for the #JohnMuirTrail as well.

Hi - I'm Audrey and I'm new here! Looking for fellow hikers, backpackers, & outdoorsy folks to connect with! A little about me: I'm a #hiking fanatic, love to travel, live in beautiful Boulder, CO, and possibly have more dog friends than people friends. 😜 Say hi if this resonates. 😄
