Today, the “RainbowHunters” were hiking the trail as usual, with #autisminmymind
As my daughter was taking point on the trail.
It was such a joy to see her thriving as a new explorer on her second trail adventure. As she led the way.

The terrain itself can help regulate the pace of your hike. For example, a trail with more tree coverage or openness will impact the pace you can maintain.
