Chrissy, together with her friend Kristen, have just finished hiking the Tahoe Rim Trail, a very demanding hike of 171 miles that is widely regarded as one of the premier long-distance trails in the world. It took them 10 days, averaging 18 miles per day. In addition to the 171 miles of the trail, they also hiked Mt. Tallac and Freel Peak as side trips.
Here are some photos:
