In August and September of 2017, I strung together three consecutive high routes in the Sierra Nevada mountain range: the Sierra High Route, the Southern Sierra High Route, and the Kings Canyon High Basin Route. I took me 39 total days to complete the hike. I hiked solo and unsupported, excepted in my heart of course by all those that I love.
