Lori spent years dreaming and preparing for the Appalachian Trail. Then, over 193 days, she hiked from Georgia to Maine—facing winter weather, injuries, homesickness, and moments when quitting felt close. Lori shares how she prepared, what kept her going, and what it took to reach Katahdin. Her journey is an honest reminder that it’s never too late to chase a dream.

LTH Trail Stories Episode #25 Kristin Watson "Hiking on a Prayer"
Kristin Watson turned a prayer in a shelter into a 2,000-mile Appalachian Trail thru-hike—and she’s already dreaming about the Pacific Crest Trail. In this conversation, the creator of Hiking on a Prayer shares how a 2014 spark of inspiration became a life-changing adventure twelve years later. Kristin opens up about preparing for the AT while balancing work and family, facing fears and tough trail conditions, and relying on her trail family when the going got hard. She also reflects on faith, homesickness, health challenges, and what it’s like to return to everyday life after months on the trail. For anyone putting off a big dream, Kristin’s story reminds you to find your people, take the first step, and make the most of the time you have.
