Hi! I am Shana, a middle-aged IT Sales professional in the DC area.
After several months of working remotely because of COVID, with several more months of COVID-induced isolation ahead of me, I decided to take advantage of the situation (and of the hot housing market here) to sell my house, pack a bag, and head out west where I will work during the day and hike the rest. Finally, I can TRAVEL!
I know. That sounds crazy.
Also, I don't have a plan. If you know me at all, you know that's even CRAZIER.
I do have a vision, though.
That I'll start in Arizona. Visit Jared & Katie. Meet up with Deb.
Work my way up to the Grand Canyon.
Spend some time near Bryce and Zion.
Head to Salt Lake City to check out the hiking around there. Maybe try skiing.
Mosey over to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone.
Meet up with The Fam in western South Dakota. See Mount Rushmore with the little twerps.
Hike Glacier National Park with Brianne - a long overdue visit!
Visit Ryan & Liz in Washington state.
Visit Harry & Becky in Oregon and meet their little twerp.
Sprinkle in some Idaho.
Garnish with a few detours.
Host friends along the way. Meet new ones.
Return eventually to Virginia with some rad pics and even radder memories.
And that is my vision. Not completely crazy.
The purpose of this site is to share a calendar of where I am and where I think I will be so you can send me recommendations of things to do, or introduce me to your friends who live in the area, or better yet, join me for parts of this adventure.
And also, these posts will make my mom happy that I haven't been kidnapped.
And that is the story of Shana Takes a Hike. I hope you enjoy following my adventures. And I especially hope you'll join me for some of them!
