welcome!
I’m Alexa, former city-dweller turned thru-hiker. I’m passionate about bringing the outdoors to people who live in urban areas.
I explore barriers to entry and inclusivity in the outdoors while I aspire to earn the Triple Crown, hiking the three U.S. long-distance trails, Appalachian Trail (2018), Continental Divide Trail (2019), and Pacific Crest Trail (TBD).
The Concrete Hiker is your go-to source for all things outdoors. Whether you’re planning a thru-hike, day hike or vacation, I hope to inspire your next adventure!
Van Life
In December 2020, we bought a 2007 Dodge Sprinter and started to convert it into our dream camper van. Follow along as we dive into our next adventure!
Even after a thru-hike, my sleeping bag is loftier than ever! Check out my review of the Versalite by Western Mountaineering.
