For trail lovers and active travelers
Welcome to
Self-Guided Trails
I am thrilled to create an avenue to share my deep passion for exploring the great outdoors. This site isn’t going to be a chronicle of all my trips. Instead, I created this space to share some unique active travel perspectives and itineraries to hopefully inspire you to #optoutside and fall in love with leading your own adventures on the trails.
Who am I?
My name is Lily and I’m a happy wife, a mother of cats, a health and fitness enthusiast, an active traveler, and an outdoors lover. If there’s a hiking, backpacking, or camping opportunity in a beautiful location, my hand is raised and I’m starting my research to get there. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy living in metropolitan cities for the diversity and access to major airports. But there’s something about escaping from these concrete jungles during my free time to nourish my mind, body, and soul in the quiet wonders, beauty, and challenges of the natural world.
What makes my trips different?
All trips are self-guided so you have the flexibility of hiking at your own pace. You’ll be provided an expertly curated hiking routes and easy-to-follow trail navigation through cool towns around the United States.
All logistics will be prepared for you so you can experience the joys of a thru-hike (point to point) with the comforts of staying in hotels. Your luggage will move to your next hotel while you’re on the trail so you can hike with just your day pack and boots!
