Living with Parkinson’s,
loving the outdoors
Ideas and tips for those
who want to move well
and stay active
Hello!
I’m Colleen, an outdoors enthusiast living with Parkinson’s.

I offer tips and trail descriptions for hikers with PD and others who want to keep moving. I also write about exercise, life with this this disease, and what’s new out there.
