HEY PEPPERCORNS!

Welcome to the Pepper Steps Blog! Yippee! This is MY corner of the internet- where I can yap about all my hyper-fixations. From hiking and backpacking and the best gear for the trail, to discovering fun plants and trees, and even sharing my big hopes and dreams for the future of Peppercorn HQ!

About The Pepper Steps Blog

This blog is where we can get to the root of a subject... get it? haha because I'm Pepper and I like trees so... ok you get it! ANYWAYS!

I'll be sharing with you:

behind-the-scenes stories from my adventures
hiking gear and backpacking gear reviews for my fellow gear heads
interesting nature facts that I learn throughout my adventures
thoughts on how the outdoors keeps us sane
and tips for those of you who wish to experience the great outdoors to the FULLEST EXTENT! Rah! Nature!!!

We're Keepin' it Really Real Here

This isn’t just a blog—it’s a community space for us nature-loving, trail-hiking, adventure-seeking nerds to connect.

In other words, this is a space for you, my beloved Peppercorn. What do you want to read about? Got a question about gear? Unsure about how to get started with hiking? Or maybe you want me to write about the time I almost got lost in a forest because I was too busy looking at lichens? Let me know in the comments below — I’ll share it all with you, because you're so cute and I love you. :-)

Tell Me!

So, let’s hear it: What do YOU want to see in the Pepper Steps blog? Drop your ideas, questions, and requests in the comments below- or send me a carrier pigeon, whatever works! I actually read every single comment, so if there’s something you’re dying to see here, don’t be shy! I’m excited to make this blog a comfy cozy nook for you to relax and enjoy. Like a virtual bed of moss under a pixelated canopy of really pretty trees... or something!!

Author: Pepper

I’ve been dubbed “the final form of a girl scout,” but Pepper works just fine! I’m a big nerd with a passion for fitness, mental health, and, of course, all things outdoors. I spend most of my time on the trail or in the gym, and when I’m not doing either of those things, I’m creating content to encourage others to get out there and explore! As a creator with autism and ADHD, I’m all about making outdoor spaces more accessible, all while pushing yourself to reach new heights (haha, get it... because mountains are high... anyways). Whether you’re looking for quirky nature facts, fitness inspiration, or tips for surviving in the backcountry, you’ve found base camp. So let’s get steppin’!
