If I could have something named after me, I’d want it to be a hiking trail.
A good hiking trail can challenge you, humble you, and reward you with views you can’t get any other way. They can create stories and test your grit. Sometimes they even have the power to change you.
The best trails in the best mountains can remind you how small you are. They remind you of a magnificent Creator and make you feel love.
Hopefully the trail named after me would be one that makes you feel stunned from beginning to end and has a beautiful destination. I’d want it to be challenging, but worth the effort.
Most of all, I’d want it to be a trail that reminds people they’re capable of more than they think.
That’s what hiking has done for me. It’s shown me that hard things are worth doing, that progress happens one step at a time, and that the best views usually come after the toughest climbs.
So if my name were ever placed on a sign at a trailhead somewhere, I’d hope it would stand for perseverance, adventure, and the joy of getting outside, even when it’s hard.
Though I’d settle for having a deliciously fudgy, cookie-filled, high milkfat ice cream flavor named in my honor.
