A Word from Mary Beth Skylis

Hi! I’m Mary Beth. I’m a student of movement. I began my exploration of travel and the outdoors in 2015 with a thruhike of the Appalachian Trail. Since then, I’ve added the Colorado Trail to the list, as well as hiked through the Himalayas, the jungles of South America, the cliffs of Ireland, the peaks of Madeira, and the slot canyons of western USA. When I’m not hiking, backpacking, or climbing, you’ll probably find me with a good book and a cup of coffee somewhere in Colorado.
