Welcome to Roger Carpenter’s (Greg In Wild) website! These pages and posts describe my experiences hiking the Triple Crown of Long Distance Hiking between 1996 and 2021.
My next adventure will take place on the 800-mile Arizona National Scenic Trail. I plan to start on March 5, 2026. Look for periodic updates!
I hiked the full length of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail in 2025. Post from the hike are here.
The Triple Crown Hikes
I am happy to report that I completed the Appalachian Trail on December 15, 2021. Combined with the Pacific Crest Trail in 1996 and Continental Divide Trail in 2016, I earned the Triple Crown of Long Distance Hiking! Below are links to essays I wrote about each of the three trails and how I evolved over those years starting when I was just 41 years old to 67.
Pacific Crest Trail – 1996 (and 1995)
Continental Divide Trail – 2016
