It was time for me to leave Whistler, but I needed to tell someone how I felt. I found him and handed him a letter. I was nervous, but happy that I did it.

Snowshoeing and Snowmobiling
I did snowshoeing with a tour that took us to the top of the mountain on the gondola. Then I went snowmobiling in deep powder snow! I had been waiting more than a month for the snow!
Friends in Whistler
I was able to make lots of friends from the beer tour, and game night at the library. My new friends and I played trivia and bingo at a bar. I was also hit on by a creep who take no for an answer.
Thanksgiving For One

Dating in Whistler
I met a few guys from Tinder while I was staying in Whistler for six weeks. Each guy made me feel like asking for dinner was too much. I think being taken on an actual date isn’t having too high of expectations.

Day 95: Train Wreck and Suspension Bridge
The train wreck trail is a unique experience with damaged train cars with spray paint all over them. It’s fun to explore. I also checked out the suspension bridge in Vancouver, which had tree houses and bridges to explore too.
Days 93-94: Ziplining Away
I zip-lined through the trees on Whistler mountain. The lines were long and fast! It was great weather, but they even do it in the winter. It was a great way to end my time in Whistler.
Day 92: Peak to Peak Gondola
I took the Peak to Peak gondola up to the top of the mountain and then across on the world’s longest continuous lift. The views were awesome. Then I met up with the musician that I met earlier on Tinder.
Day 90: Arriving to Whistler, British Columbia
My muscles were still so tight that I could barely move. I went to the Scandinave spa, which had tons of hot tubs nestled in the mountains!
Throughout her wild 3-week journey backpacking 220+ miles in the California Sierra Mountains, Christy encountered freezing temperatures, pelting hail storms, and losing her way, but found trail family, incredible views, and experiences that would change her life forever. Hiking up and over ten different mountain passes gave Christy a lot of time to think about why her nine-year marriage was falling apart, gave her the chance to truly embody her individualism, time to make new friends, and the strength she would need on and off the trail. Her life could never again be the same.
This is one woman’s account of the three weeks she spent on the iconic trail.
From Readers Favorite: “... a compelling non-fiction adventure story of finding strength in the face of adversity and learning how to believe in yourself.”
