When I was 18 years old, I took a gap year before beginning University. I set out to complete my first ever backpacking trip, alone. A thru-hike of the 2,189 mile Appalachian Trail. Walking from Georgia to Maine in 143 days. Find out more.

After my first year of University, with the taste of freedom still lingering, I set out to bike across the country. My friend Jenny and I biked from Yorktown, Virginia to Astoria, Oregon, along the Trans-American Bike trail in 72 days. Read about the journey.

I need to be more in the center–my last thought as the snow collapsed and the snowmobile and I were free falling off the bridge into the shallow creek below. Read here about the ensuing events of that sunny Colorado day and here to read more about the journey of recovery.

My name is Lynne Wummel, I also go by my trail name “Lioness”. Although, it’s been quite a few years since I’ve gone by that name daily. I’ve been deeply interwoven within the “real world” as of the last 6 years, since my 2017 thru-hike of the 2,200 mile Appalachian Trail. It is a busy world out here. In that time I’ve also biked across the U.S.A, learned Spanish (a continual process), done a variety of work in the outdoor industry, broken a few bones, and lived in Spain, Colorado, Utah, Michigan. I’ve earned a Bachelors in Social Work and Spanish (fire up chips!), and lived out of and in my car(s). I prefer to live and travel lightly and spend time either rock climbing, hiking, rafting, kayaking, skiing, slacklining, canyoneering, biking, writing, laughing, eating chocolate, holding a warm cup of liquid in my hand, laying in the sun….. you get the idea. I am a big fan of the growth zone and the flow state and I love doing things that allow me to interact with both of those.  Click here to read more.
