Lindsey Falkenburg is feeling the loss of a 2020 thru-hike… and remembering what she’s made of. Like a lot of 2020 thru-hikers, Lindsey canceled her plan to hike the Continental Divide Trail in June. In its absence, she’s allowing herself to feel the loss – and also filling her cup with urban hiking, art, and re-discovering her resilience.
