Hiking context including Mileage, States, Dates, and Elevation Profile are letterpress printed on reverse of the print, as well as this inspiration story:

Hopscotching on rocks, dance of the forest: The trail section through Pennsylvania was tough and often a challenge of patience. Long stretches crossed boulder fields and rock-laden areas making for difficult hiking, so staying positive was essential. I decided that the best way to handle these challenging sections was to think of it as a game. How could I hopscotch across this, yet another, group of rocks? This became a routine dance in "Rocksylvania" that kept my spirits up, made the hiking much more enjoyable, and allowed me to keep on truckin’ northward.
