Manage episode 430319905 series 2311774
In this episode we chat with Carly Rae, the creative mind behind "Trail Name Tales," a captivating collection of stories that dive into the origins of hikers' trail names. Carly takes us on a journey from her upbringing in Amherst, Mass, surrounded by the Mount Holyoke Range, where daily hikes and camping became a natural part of her life.
In 2020, Carly's passion for hiking deepened, leading to unforgettable experiences in the White Mountains and along the Appalachian Trail. Her love for photography intertwined with her outdoor adventures, shaping her path as both an artist and a storyteller.
While thru-hiking the AT, Carly's desire to stay connected to her creative outlet sparked the idea for "Trail Name Tales." What began as an Instagram project evolved into an amazing community where hikers share their unique stories and trail name origins.
After the hike, Carly compiled the photos and videos on the trail into the book, "Trail Name Tales". Not only does it preserve the hiker's narratives but also celebrates the spirit of camaraderie and adventure found in the outdoor community.
