About Me

My Name is Samantha Butler and I write the Chronicles of a Novice Hiker to capture memories and inspire you to do the same. I want to look back on the places I’ve been and the things I’ve done. I want to share my experience with you and hear about yours. I am fascinated by the idea that we could visit the same locations yet have completely different experiences. Every person has their own unique perspective and this blog will capture mine.

I will share tales of my hiking adventures in a light hearted narrative tone that will allow you experience them as I have. Dear reader, I invite you into my adventures and I hope at the very least, they inform you about the beautiful nature that is hiding around our everyday life. I hope these experiences I share will encourage you to seek out the little pockets of nature that are in and around our cities. There is always something new to be discovered even in places that are seemingly familiar.

As you may come to notice by reading my blog, I am mesmerized by the flow of water. A running stream, a manmade water fountain, or a natural waterfall, I absolutely love watching water flow.
