Trail name: “Hogg Country”

I do most of my hiking in the great state of Arkansas—true Hog Country—and my trail name is a nod both to that heritage and to my last name, Hogg. I’m an avid hiker and the recent recipient of the Sassafras Award for completing the Triple “O” Crown: the Ouachita Trail, the Ozark Highlands Trail, and the Ozark Trail.

Beyond those thru‑hikes, I’ve summited Pikes Peak, explored sections of the Appalachian Trail, and knocked out Eagle Rock Loop in a single day—still one of my favorite challenges. My travels have also taken me farther afield, including Hawaii, where I hiked the Sleeping Giant.
