Nichole also discusses the journals she has created, which enable hikers to reflect more deeply on their hike, including what they saw and how they felt.

Although this episode shows off her more serious side, Nichole is hilarious! She showcases her humor often on her social media accounts (Instagram and TikTok). And don’t forget to visit her website, where she has multiple trail guides and information.
