I started this channel as a way to share my adventures in hiking and backpacking from a Christian perspective. Whether I’m spending a whole week on the trail or just an afternoon, my time out there is short. In the same way, so is my time on this side of eternity. My citizenship is in Heaven and I'm just passing through. With each trip into the backcountry, I’m reminded of this truth. I'm a sojourner...

If you have any questions about gear, trails I've hiked, or backpacking in general feel free to reach out: jessicasojourning@gmail.com

The groundhog said 2026 has another 6 weeks of Winter up its sleeve, so here's some Armchair Adventures for the folks that like to sit this season out. Instead of reading recommendations, I'm changing things up this time with five of my favorite backpacking videos.

Thank you to everyone who's followed along over the years. It's truly been a pleasure sharing our outdoor adventures with you. We made so many fun memories with family and friends in 2025. I'm eager to see the incredible things The Lord has in store for us on our next trip around the sun. 🎊

Hey Friends! If you haven’t already, please check out the latest video: "Along for the Ride" Alum Cave trail to Mount LeConte is definitely the toughest hike we've done together, but getting to share this experience with Wiggle was beyond worth it!

I'm excited to announce my latest project: "Stoveless Summer" No-cook meals have become a regular part of Summer backpacking trips for me over the years. So, I decided to put together a PDF with a dozen of my favorite recipes. If you find my backpacking itineraries and guides helpful, then I think you'll really like this too. 😊

Thank you again to everyone who participated in my recent thumbnail polls. And an EXTRA big thanks to those who left specific feedback in the comments! It was so helpful. Apparently YT gained no insight whatsoever on it's end...

Thank you guys SO much for the feedback! (Which thumbnail Youtube THINKS you like vs. what you ACTUALLY like.) Same question different thumbnail. Which do you like most?

Hey Friends! I'm giving YouTube's thumbnail testing a try, but I'm interested to see whether what it THINKS you like is what you ACTUALLY like. So, let me know! Which thumbnail do you like the most?

A new trip video is in the works! 5 points if you can name the location. Unfortunately, just like on Whose Line, the points don't matter. This announcement, however, is not made up 😉
