Peaks and Eats

With the Hungry Hikers

Fifteen years ago, we stepped out of college and into snowshoes—for probably less than a mile. Our friendship started in a Physical Therapy Assistant program. Since then, we’ve done everything from Tough Mudder to charity runs, but what really stuck were the trails, the views, and, of course, the food.

We’ve gained experience over the years, but we’re not extreme hikers or thru-hikers (even though we are prepared). In the beginning, KK’s dog, Hilo—a loyal Rhodesian Ridgeback—deserved credit for navigating us out of the woods more than once. Now, thank you, AllTrails!

We’re gratuitous hikers—we take our time, want a good view for our effort, and, let’s be real, we start thinking about food about halfway through the hike. We usually pick up the pace on the way down, talking about our restaurant order—because, obviously, we checked the menu beforehand.

Now, we want to share what has brought us so much joy over the years on a bigger scale.

We’ve put together our recent memories, recommendations, and best finds—from where to fuel our bodies beforehand and fill the gas tank to hikes worth the effort, funny moments along the way, the best post-hike eats, and, when we can, places to stay without breaking the bank.

So if you love nature (but don’t need to sleep in the woods), appreciate a good meal, and enjoy a little adventure, you’re in the right place!

We don’t know if everyone will laugh as much as we do, but we hope you enjoy the journey just the same. 🖤🥾🍽️

Side note: For those interested in hiking lists we really enjoy the 52 With a View! You can buy Ken MacGray’s book on Amazon, New Hampshire’s 52 With a View A Hiker’s Guide! We highly recommend it!!

Stay hungry, stay adventurous, and stay tuned! ⏳🥾🍽️

We’ll be serving up fresh hikes and tasty bites every Wednesday at 7 PM EST—because midweek deserves a little adventure too! Set your alarms, grab a snack, and join us for the next trail and treat. See you then! 👀✨ #PeaksAndEats
