Jennifer Pharr Davis

"Trail Thoughts" is a channel created by Jennifer Pharr Davis to share her experiences and trail-based wisdom. 

An expert on "what it takes to keep going," Jennifer has covered more than 14,000 miles of trails on six different continents. In 2011, she set the overall record on the Appalachian Trail by finishing the 2,185-mile footpath in 46 days – an average of 47 miles per day. She is the first and only woman to hold this title. Jennifer has also backpacked over 700 miles pregnant, walked across North Carolina while still nursing her newborn son, and hiked in all fifty states with her two-year-old daughter. She is a proponent of "moving women forward" in every season of life.  

Off-trail, Jennifer is a sought after speaker, critically acclaimed author and successful entrepreneur who is able to translate her experiences into a path that allows people to better navigate their work – and their world.
