Hello!

I’m Colleen, an outdoors enthusiast with a Parkinson’s diagnosis.

It’s a progressive disease, but so far I still can hike in beautiful places, my lifelong passion. Knock on wood, right?

Here, I describe trails I’ve discovered and offer tips for hikers with PD. Use the search button to find hikes by state.

I also write about other ways to stay fit, and about about life with Parkinson’s.

Each post about a trail I’ve hiked includes a difficulty rating, as well as tips and cautions that are PD specific.
