The significance of trail shelters extends beyond a roof and walls. Considering we mostly stayed when inclement weather threatened the skies, I previously viewed them as a literal shelter from the storm. As the miles racked up, these wild accommodations quickly became a haven and meeting place for weary hikers. After months of sleeping amongst strangers, mice, and other curious creatures, we’ve found comfort within our fleeting homes.
This collection documents a trek across the revered and rugged footpath known as the Appalachian Trail.
Our northbound thru-hike began late winter, a time when less embark and fewer will endure. Surviving changing seasons and some transitions of our own, we traversed the white blaze for nearly 2,200 miles. After spending months living from a tent or the occasional lean-to, mileage felt secondary to the intimate experiences that privileged our journey. Such adventures take grit and determination, even more they require a keen desire to expand and evolve. Witnessing an ever-changing environment of resilient life instills the belief in our own balance of hardiness and flexibility.
Caleb and Madelyn’s documentation reveals a process of acceptance and admiration for the ever elusive now. Through our pieces, we explore the relationship between nature and long-distance hiker.
