Hi, I’m Rebecca

The hiker, writer, and gear enthusiast behind the blog. I created Navigation None to share my experiences on the trail—from solo backpacking trips in New England to day hikes around San Diego. Over time, it’s become a resource packed with trail guides, packing lists, gear reviews, and tips to help you plan safe, fun, and meaningful adventures.

Here, You’ll find:

  • Trail guides and trip reports from the White Mountains, Yosemite, and other incredible places
  • Hiking tips and seasonal advice for beginners or those looking to get back into hiking
  • Gear recommendations based on firsthand trail use—not just Amazon reviews
  • Ideas for micro-adventures that fit your schedule and lifestyle
my unique approach to adventure

Everything here is written by me, based on my own hikes and hard-won experience (and sometimes sore legs). Whether you’re getting ready for your first hike or your fiftieth, I’m glad you’re here.

Let’s get you out there.

here some places to get you started on your journey:

I am not a hiker but am looking to try something new! I have hiked a few mountains in my lifetime but not consistently. The last mountain I hiked was during the pandemic.
I love your tips and engaging questions!
