🚨 TRAIL NERD ALERT! 🚨

I have some exciting news...

Chica’s Arm Candy has officially completed the Triple Crown! 🏆✨

Well... not me personally. My knees said no. 😂

But my adventure-inspired jewelry is now available on all three legendary long-distance trails:

🥾 Appalachian Trail (AT)
🌲 Pacific Crest Trail (PCT)
⛰️ Continental Divide Trail (CDT)

That’s right—the CDT is the newest member of the Chica’s Arm Candy family, making this a true Triple Crown of Arm Candy! 🎉

And there’s more! My CDT jewelry—and brand-new GDMBR (Great Divide Mountain Bike Route) jewelry—will now be available at Great Divide Outdoors in Rawlins, Wyoming. 🚴‍♀️⛰️

Whether you’re thru-hiking, pedaling the legendary GDMBR, tackling 2,000+ miles of adventure, or just dreaming about your next epic journey, there’s now a little piece of trail-inspired sparkle waiting for you.

Honestly, I’m pretty thrilled that something I create with my own two hands can now be found along all three of America’s iconic Triple Crown trails and on one of the most famous bike-packing routes in the world. That’s a whole lot of dirt, sweat, blisters, headwinds, and adventure—and now, a little more jewelry. 💖

My jewelry is available at Outdoor 76 (AT), Triple Crown Outfitters (PCT) and now Great Divide Outdoors (CDT / GDMBR). And if not on trail, check out my shop at on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChicasArmCandy).

Foothills Trail #3 completed! Super hard day for me! Steady and I finished our 15 miles we needed to do to complete this trail that we hiked after Christmas. Sunsets & Slow were our shuttle drivers and support. Woot!

There’s a prescribed burn planned starting tomorrow, lasting about two weeks, affecting miles 121.9 - 123.4.

The video below discusses a blue blaze alternative that skirts the burn area.
