Hike Stars on Earth
Finding stars on earth through faith, adventure, creativity, and everyday life.

Welcome, I’m Jared Harding Wilson
Through faith, family, adventure, creativity, and everyday life, I’ve discovered that some of life’s greatest treasures aren’t found in distant places—they’re found in the people, experiences, and moments that surround us every day. Hike Stars on Earth is where I share those stories through hiking trails, spiritual reflections, travel adventures, photography, books, music, woodworking, and the lessons learned along the way.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, a new trail to explore, a meaningful quote, or simply a reminder to appreciate life’s journey, I hope you’ll find something here that encourages you to discover the stars on earth in your own life.

Something I never thought I could do? Run a marathon. At 50, or honestly at any age. I’d wanted to for a long time.
