THE HIKER BEHIND GRAVITY HIKES
Hi, I’m Leslie.
The trail calls
me Gravity.
Outdoor enthusiast. Curious wanderer. Occasionally defeated by a tree root. Glad you’re here.
HOW I FOUND MY WAY OUTSIDE
Somewhere along the trail,
I found a little more of myself.
As a teenager, I was drawn to Thoreau’s idea of a life close to nature. Then life got busy, and that fascination slipped into the background.
Rediscovering the outdoors brought it back. Hiking became a source of joy and peace, and a way to appreciate what was right in front of me.
Since then, I’ve explored trails across the Midwest and beyond. The scenery changes, but the curiosity stays with me.
The beautiful places.
The muddy shoes.
All part of the adventure.
That’s what I want to share here: the places that make me pause, the stories that stick with me, and the fun of getting out there.
