About

Hey, I'm Kylie

I'm a software engineer based in Colorado who spends most of my free time in the mountains. This site is where I document my hikes, climbs, and adventures.

I started hiking Colorado's peaks in 2019 and quickly became obsessed with the high alpine and learning about its terrain. What started as casual day hikes has evolved into longer backpacking trips, winter climbs, and the occasional scramble up something probably a bit too sketchy.
