About Me

Welcome to my site my name is Josh and Nomad Hiker is my passion I love to get out and experience the hiking trails all around me and am preparing for a Triple Crown run in the next few years.

I have been hiking since a kid back in Washington State and nothing would be more fantastic than to travel on the PCT back by Stevens Pass and the areas we hiked as kids.

My goal is to convince more people to get outside and to hike responsibly along with learning more about themselves and their abilities! As a father and husband I have to be more frugal with my gear choices so I focus on finding quality performance as often as possible!
