Trail Correspondents #16: The End

Backpacker Radio

If this episode doesn't give you goosebumps, seek medical attention. Today we hear from our hikers at the end of their journeys. More specifically, they give us two different check ins- the night before their last day on trail, and from the summit itself. As you can imagine, this is an emotional moment for any thru-hiker. Although the journey is the destination, the destination is the goal, to succeed at this near half-year pursuit toward a single, tangible end is good reason for a heart-felt outpour.

In today's show, we hear from:

• Jacob Beaver
• Kate Mueller aka Sassafras
• IBTAT
• Madeline Newel
• Kate Emmons
• Lukas Isaacson
• Sarah Mowery
• Rachael “Rabbit” DeLano
