Timmy (a.k.a. trekkertimmy)
Hello! My name is Timothy Carlson, but most call me Timmy for short. Often described as an uglier Ryan Gosling, I am the president, CEO, and break room soda machine stocker at Hike The Planet!
Stuff About Timmy
I currently make my home in Flagstaff, Arizona, where I enjoy documenting my adventures in the outdoors by writing humorous articles, sharing tech tips, and reviewing outdoor gear. Aside from hiking, backpacking, and rock climbing, I am cultivating a daily meditation practice, and learning how to not absolutely hate trail running.
In the past, I have worked as a Wilderness Backpacking and River Guide, a Tree Top Adventure Course Safety Officer, and as a Volunteer Fire Lookout for the US Forest Service.
I am a NOLS Wilderness Emergency Medical Technician (WEMT), and an LNT educator. In 2017, I completed a NoBo thru hike of the John Muir Trail. The Summer of 2018 was spent road tripping and climbing around the American West, and in 2019 I climbed big rocks, and mapped many trails in Yosemite National Park.
With Hike The Planet!, I hope to share my passions outdoor adventure, travel, and photography with you, the reader.
If You Have Any Questions, Comments, Concerns, or You Just Want to Shower Me With Compliments, send an email to timmy@hikethepla.net. If I’m not out hiking, climbing, or trail running, I will respond within 48 hours! (I promise!)
