Talk about a trailblazer... Thru-hiker, product designer, and Darn Tough's resident bird detective, Alex is always chasing something new. From talking socks to tracking loons, her pick reflects her love of both. 🧦 Alex's Pick: Men's Woody Crew 🧦 “The Woody is my favorite animal sock because of the owls and the woodpeckers,” said Alex. “The pileated woodpecker is one of my favorite birds.” 🧦 One of Alex’s favorite hiking memories was hiking the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier in Washington state. She said, “I was beyond lucky to get an early lottery.” And after securing a permit, she and her partner spent nine days hiking 93 miles and climbing 26,000 feet of elevation. They saw mountain goats, marmots, and a multitude of birds.
