- Hey everybody, we actually did it ✨
More info!
If you want to connect Instagram is a great place! Find me @stella.hikes I try my best to respond to DMs :)
Leffes instagram is @c_mate (Cam Laird) ☺️
And if you want to support me on the AT and the creation of these videos you can
Venmo @Stella-Blashock
and I’ll send you a post card from the trail!
Massive thank you to those already supporting me on the AT regardless of how- financially, following along, sharing, and commenting! 💗
10% of YT earnings this year will go back to trail orgs like the ATC, PCTC, and the CDTC 🌲🏔️✨ Thank you for your support and encouragement! Let’s get outside and into the mountains together 💞
What a wonderful accomplishment! Congratulations to you, Coyote and Leffe. Thank you so much for allowing us to share your journey.
Wait, this beautiful girl just walked 3,000 miles, most of it alone and on the last day a spider makes her scream! Congratulations Stella. It’s been a pleasure following you for 122 days. Proud of you. ❤
Many congratulations to you and Leffe, What an achievement! Dare we ask you to join him in the Fall when he finishes Rocksylvania?
Was so thinking the same thing. Probably most of us are. Hope they do.
I started watching Stella at episode 67…I’ve been watching the sparks fly and chemistry between Stella ❤and Leffee… now I gotta go back and see how they met from the beginning. Maybe I’m just imagining a love story but I’m a hopeless romantic ❤or just hopeless 😂
I’m not into hiking at all.. her page just popped up with day 67 and I thought 💭 what is she up too?
Congratulations to Stella and Leffe on an amazing accomplishment! And a special nod to Leffe for his quiet and steady support for Stella though the more challenging last miles of the AT. Rest up, eat some healthy food and tell us what is next!
CONGRATULATIONS STELLA AND LEFFES🎊🎈🎉💃🍻💕As I sit here with my coffee crying my eyes out, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking us on your incredibly awesome journey!!! It has been my dream for as long as I can remember , to through hike the AT. My responsibilities have never allowed me the opportunity so far. But I am going to try my best to get in shape physically and fiscally to try it when I can retire. I really look forward to your content that you are planning to do. I am a 61 year old critical care RN and I love the mountains and the beach🥰 As always, you are in my prayers!! Thank you so much💗💗💗💗
I cried too I felt their accomplishments like it was us lol so proud of them 💓
Wow…hiking to the top of Katahdin is a giant boulder climb! 😳
Oh my gosh, I was just bawling when you reached the summit! 🥹 Congratulations!! What an incredible accomplishment!! I’ve so enjoyed watching your journey and seeing more of the trail. Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to vlog and to share your hike!! You are so inspiring! 😊
What a great journey, extremely emotional at the end, couldn’t fight back the tears. Very proud of you.
Finally bug protection. Love the trail scenes. Leffey is a pleasure to watch - exudes calmness and patience.
OMG so happy for you! In cried when you cried. Thanks for sharing the all your moments in this journey. Go Stella!
Congrats on a great hike and for taking us along with you. So glad Leffey was there to help you through the difficult times. Y'all showed us places that I will never get to see in person. Thanks again and God Bless.
Don’t forget BLOOPERS … people love BLOOPERS
Stellllllaaaaaah !!!
I knew you would finish - not one doubt in my mind. Congratulations to you and Leffe (he is a sweetheart). Abundant blessings to both of you ❤ may your special bond last for a lifetime ❤️
Congratulations on your completion of the AT. I thank you for sharing your journey with us. Looking forward to any future videos,gear, and thoughts. As always please stay safe, and I wish you well in the future.
Congratulations 🎉 to you both! It’s been a pleasure watching you both❤
Kudos
From doubts,sadness to ever buying confidence the trail has brought you through it all,intact, successful and laughing Kudos you did it!!!!
Congratulations. You are my role model. You inspired me. ❤
Yes! You did it! This was a wonderful post. Tears filled my eyes with joy and gratitude to see you and Leffe reach the summit of Katahdin. I am thrilled for Coyote too. Congrats to all. WELL DONE! All the best for the future. I look forward to future videos. Continue to dream, Stella, journal and write poems.
WOW!! Just WOW. I’m so pleased for both and a tad emotional too if I’m honest. Bloody well done. Our young girls need more role models like you xx
Congratulations!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey! I'm so glad you had such great friends to hike with! I have followed along from the beginning and think you're an inspiration. I'm excited to see what you do next!
A huge congrats to you both and thanks for taking us along. Continued happy onward trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️
Congratulations!! Thank you for taking us along, I held my breath so often thru your hike and cried at the end in happiness for you. ❤
Enjoyed your journey through the woods and all the highs and lows , etc. wishing you clear skies and dry trails in the future!
Just finished watching this again! I cried this time with you! I felt like I had summitted Mt Khatadin. I felt good to see Leffe beam at you when you finished. I thought he was gonna propose to you the second time you got on the sign… then I remembered I already watched this 😂😂😂
Three cheers for the two of you - huzzah! Bravo! You mention reflecting and processing the memories of the trail - the goods, the bads and all the stuff in between. You will never stop reminding yourself of what took place. The thru-hike was a watershed experience and a rite of passage that will linger with you for all your days - New Hampshire and Maine will more than likely be the stand-outs, because of their difficulties, but also because of their unique beauty. Now there is the time and opportunity to decompress, re-charge and re-enter the world, as you knew it, prior to your journey. Be well, stay safe. Wli Bamkanni...
I have so enjoyed watching you and Leffe hike. You are incredible
It has been a joy and privilege to follow your hike.congratulation on the completion.i hope you keep walking and keep writing for many years to come and that you have much good fortune during that time.as always all the best from saugus mass.which for some pointless trivia is about a five and one half hour trip from where I am.at least it was the last time I went there in 1992.good luck Stella and thanks again
I'm so happy for you and appreciate you sharing your journey with us. It was so exciting and emotional to watch this morning. You are an amazing woman!!
Woohoo! Congrats! I have really enjoyed following along on your journey!
You have done amazing. Your excitement and joy at the beginning. Hiking with a dog. Hiking with hurt knees. Hiking solo and with people. Challenged your self mentally and physically. The ups and downs. You've been an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey and your life. What have you learned the most about yourself? To the top, to the top you go. Your excitement was contagious. My heart strings were touched and my emotions welled up for you. ❤. I'm so glad you had decent weather so you could enjoy your time on top of the world. EEK, Looked very treacherous going down. 😮. Keep trekking. 😊
Congratulations 🎉🎉 Awesome job!! You rock!!
Yea!!! congrats !!! Was fun to follow you on your adventure.

Wow, you did it girl! Congratulations on your very long hike! Journeyed with you every day, all the way. Good morning!
Hooray! Congratulations to you both!! 🎉 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Friggin amazing! What you accomplished is mind-boggling. The GF and I have watched your adventure since the first day you stepped on the trail.Congrats, Stella! And to be selfish, we are going to miss the daily vlogs. Rock on, Stella!
Congratulations on finishing Stella. Lefty good job on summit and 1400 miles good luck on finishing. I don't do instgam so I hope Stella posts when you finish or if you had to stop.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Oh my gosh!!! You did it!! So proud of you and overjoyed. God is so good, your knees held out. I don’t know how you got thru those mosquitos 😱 I have loved every minute of watching you, thanks for taking us on this journey with you!!
Congratulations! You're amazing.
Congratulations! I enjoyed following you!
Congratulations 🎉🍾👍 Stella! 👸 You did it! Thank you so much for taking us along and sharing your AT Thru hike journey with us.
Congratulations!❤❤❤! Thank you for sharing your incredible journey as I was captivated from episode 1 to the end here at episode 122. As I’ve mentioned earlier in previous comments, your documenting of the trail with an eye towards the beauty of the natural surroundings has inspired many of us to go outside and imagine possibilities, connect with nature, and use that experience to cultivate our own creative impulses just as you have done with your journaling. Now that the journey has come to an end, I’ll have to come to terms with the fact that there will be no more Stella Hikes vlogs to look forward to but am eager to see what comes next! (Please consider the Sawtooths in Idaho or Canadian Rockies starting in Banff down to vermillion passage). All episodes were spectacular but I’ll be re-visiting my favorite four for inspiration and motivation: Sunset at the Roan Highlands, snowy, serene landscapes in the Grayson Highlands, and incredible sunrise near Ivey Creek overlook off of skyline drive VA, and our course, Summiting Katahdin🎉🎉🎉.
Nice summary!
What an Accomplishment ! Thank you for your sacrifice and discipline of taking us along. Over 2200 miles added to make over 6000 miles. Pay attention to your health and nutrition that has had to suffer . I’m sure everyone in looking forward to advice and gear information. After trail adjustments and perspective are full of information that everyone of us that have been following your journey are excited for. Congrats again now go get your self a hound dog ! You deserve one. They help keep centered ,grounded , with loyalty and love. Remember you were chosen.
You did this girl! So proud of you for all that you have overcome and accomplished...Gonna miss my morning coffee with Stella but will be looking to support anything you chose to share with us. Huge Hugs
Congratulations!!🎉🎉🥾♥️. My family has followed you every day, every step of the way. We are so proud of and inspired by you! Can't wait to see what's next for you. Happy Trails Stella!
Congrats, the emotion at the summit is palpable, thanks for sharing the journey. Loved all the wows and crazies!
Happy for you😂 🎶until we meet again 🎶..
Wow! What a finale. Such an accomplishment. How many times have you watched this yourself? So, was it everything you wanted? It is amazing to be able to follow along on your journey. Wishing you all happy trails in the future.
Looking forward to the debrief videos with Leffe, if he is willing.
Congratulations, Stella!
I followed you all the way on this one. You are the only thru-hiker I’ve watched, this season. You are really inspiring! I look forward to seeing what else you do with the channel.
In the meanwhile, I’m going back to watch your other hiking adventures.
Peace! ✌🏼
Congratulations to all of you! Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

Amazing journey!! Thank you! Enjoyed every day of it. Your amazing! Congratulations!
Woo Hoo! Thanks so much for taking us along. Nice shot of Thoreau's Spring. He gets a plaque and didn't even make the summit! ha ha. He took me that far reading The Main Woods, and many others with their published accounts of thru hiking. You were the first to take me on a video trek and it was wonderful. " Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads." -Thoreau. Your feet covered a lot of heaven. Congrats!
Congratulations 🎉 🍾. I got emotional with you. That hike down looked tough. Glad you didn’t have to hike down in the rain. 👏👏👏
Wow... just WOW!🎉 Thank you for sharing this journey with us. 💕
Congrats! Awesome experience. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Complete and total RESPECT for you Stella!! You are a true hiking professional! Also a great person. Sandra and I are so proud of your accomplishment and really miss you. Congratulations and hope we can see you again.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! What an incredible accomplishment! So very excited for you both, and so proud of you both! Thank you Stella for sharing your journey - I've loved watching it, and to be able to see occasional glimpses of Leffe! Thank you for inspiring all of us, and for the future hikers who will gain so much knowledge from your videos. Whoop! If possible, please post a photo of Leffe with his Texas A&M Flag on Mount Katahdin! #SeaAggie13 #TAMUG

Great summiting. Congratulations!
Good job to both of you! I’m glad you hiked it together! So fun to watch your journey. You are both fun to watch! Some crazy moments! No doubt a great accomplishment! God bless you bith❤
Congratulations, Stella! 🎉 I wouldn’t be surprised if you were the fastest (woman) to hike this trail. You are amazing. Congratulations also for Leffe at this point, but also he is such a kind hiking partner, just like you deserve it. I bet he is sad that he has to go the rest of his way without you. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
I would be VERY surprised. She did very well, but setting a record is another matter.
You and Leffe made a great team... a chemistry that is difficult to ignore... congrats ..too bad Leffe does not do YT... So we can follow his flip...
Congratulations all around to Stella/Nyx, Coyote, and Leffe! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Congratulations on this great life achievement! Thank you for allowing us to come along with you.
Super congrats. Excellent
Congratulations to you, Leffe, and Coyote for completing the journey. The trail tests you but through the good times and the bad times, through thick and thin y’all triumphed. I think that Leffe may need some trail magic while he’s completing his flop. I wonder? And last but not forgotten, Tally!
This is a monumental achievement Stella. Congratulations.
Congratulations!!!
Best of luck to you on your next adventure. Thank you for all your time and effort to share your journey
Congratulations 🎉🎉
Congratulations Stella and Leffe…and Coyote. Hopefully we’ll get a post hike. Check in about the dog. Can’t wait to see what you think of that. Hyperlight pack too. Your vlog was special, I’ll miss you guys. Happy trails, Stella.
Congratulations! Did you summit on the 28th or 29th? I summited last year on the 29th at 10:42am. Like you, I went down the Abol trail. Was that crazy, and I was alone! Loved watching your AT adventure. Good luck in your future endeavors.
June 13th actually!
