What is it like to be a cartoonist in the midst of a five-and-a-half-month journey along the Pacific Crest Trail? Knowing how much Imgur loves both epic journeys and talented artists, Kendra Allenby drew us a little deeper (sorry, not sorry) into her story. Coors Light and Great Big Story partnered to create this amazing series. Find out more here.

Celebrate Responsibly® 2018 Coors Brewing Co., Golden, CO

As someone who has been lucky enough to spend time on the PCT, this is awesome. Envious of Kendra and thanks for telling her story Coors.

Piss off ads

Any ad that shows up to me more than once within 5 pictures has lost any thoughts I had of purchasing it. Not that I would get Coors anyway

Wow, was a worried she wouldn't clear the rocks when she jumped! I can imagine a cold Coors Light would taste amazing if hiking on the PCT!

It's good to have coors on a hike, gotta stay hydrated

Sure all those craft beers are nice, but sometimes I just want a Coors Light. Especially when I'm playing beer pong.

My boy is getting ready to hike the CDT and our whole life is starting to focus on getting ready for and supporting the trip. Exciting.

My favorite college beer but I'm not entirely sure if that's a compliment or not.

Coors, can I go on a hike? I can produce nothing except memories and footprints, but it sounds like a good time

As an avid hiker myself, stories like this are so awesome! The PCL is an epic trail. Respect to Coors Light for bringing this to Imgur :)

Can we not advertise alcohol on this site?

Like the focus on the person and their story. Subtle marketing. May it become the trend.

+1 for sound. Great shot of crater lake, been in that exact spot.

I want to dislike this because it's an ad however the presentation and purpose is honestly powerful and respectable.

Maybe if the art didn't look like kid's doodle it wouldve been inspiring.

Stuff like this always makes me wish I could do any kind of art

Practice practice practice. Only 10,000 hours to master anything. Believe in the me who believes in you!

The best thing about art is that it’s completely subjective. Anything can be art and somebody, somewhere will appreciate it.

7 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Seriously, it just takes practice. If you spend all of your potential practice time saying "I can't", then of course you wont.

Coors sponsored someone's PCT hike? That's kinda cool.

Figures they'd have to pay someone to haul their shitty beer on a hike.

Is Coors still non union.

I love how people think it cant be cool, and a PR stunt at the same time. Like they wouldn't go on a safari if Pepsi paid them. Hypocritical

really turned off by a beer company doing this kind of advertising

7 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 19

why?

7 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I’m really turned off that they didn’t sponsor the Colorado Trail instead. Since, you know, Colorado.

They did it to get your reaction.

It's basically the equivalent of Mexican cartels opening a school or a hospital. ABI and SABMiller are cartels.

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's what I was thinking. If you can spend ad money in a good way, that's a good thing IMHO.

7 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

It's gonna get spent, might as well do something as well as advertise.
