Trail names are either given to you by another hiker or made up yourself. We both gave ourselves trail names at the start of our Appalachian Trail hike in 2011.
Trail names have been around for many years in the thru-hiking community. They are made up names so that you leave behind your real life and the real world. A place that no one knows who you are and what you do. No one calls you by your real name on the trail. You are called by your trail name.
Bonnie's trail name is: "Balance". An accountant and the balance of life.
Mike's trail name is: "Y-Knot". Life is short and you only live once. So why not.
