"Carly is a force of nature both on and off-trail. She's one of the most accomplished, but also one of the friendliest, most humble hikers I know. She's always happy to share her knowledge and expertise with others." Susanna B., Sacramento, CA

"Carly’s expert advice and recommendations regarding my equipment selection helped me keep my backpack lightweight. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and an absolute delight. I love that Carly had real experience on the John Muir Trail where I’ll be hiking using some of the equipment we discussed. She is organized and concise and she sent me great details about the equipment she suggested I consider. Carly is passionate about sharing her experience and knowledge." - Vicky S., Asheville, NC

"After sustaining a back injury 1,400 miles into my Appalachian Trail thru-hike, it seemed like there was no way to finish and everything was lost. So I reached out to Carly for coaching. She guided me all the way through Maine and New Hampshire to the finish line!" - Mr. Clean, New York, NY
