My name is Jesse and I have loved nature as long as I can remember.  For several years my friends and I have talked about planning hiking trips, but rarely managed to get out and go. 

​

Then I moved out to the Kern River Valley. Suddenly, I was in a beautiful area with a whole lot of time on my hands. So after thinking about it for a while, I realized I needed to just try it.

​

Now I'm doing my best to tick all the local trails off my list, Hiking has become a way to get into better shape, but also as a way to clear my mind and keep my sanity.
