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.

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

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

Ad or not when she kissed her husband first before anything else after finding the lake was really sweet to me.

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.

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

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

Every thru hiker wishes a beer company would sponsor their hike, including me.

Wow. I’m into this.

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

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

Can we not advertise alcohol on this site?

I despise booze... its damaged me and my family too much.

I love Great Big Story, they tell truly amazing stories.

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 :)

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.

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

7 years ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 2

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

7 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

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

You can. Find a copy of Corita Kent’s book and if you want to be Inspired google Rainbow Swash

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.

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

7 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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

No it's pretty lame.

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.

just curious, why SN instead of NS? I've been wanting to do it for years, need to wait for retirement now i think

well sure, but they could have done it in any number of uncool ways and the did this instead.

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.
