In this episode, I reconnected with Steelhead, who we lastsaw on episode 22 of Hiker Sessions season 1. At that time, he had made his way North almost 650 miles on the Appalachian trail. Steelhead is back to share his experiences from the rest of his adventure, all the way to Katahdin. We discuss the challenges he had with weight loss, the bonds he formed with hiking partners, the loneliness of hiking solo, and the kindness of strangers he encountered along the way. Steelhead also reflects on the life-changing lessons learned from living out of a backpack, his future hiking ambitions, and the emotional impact of reaching Katahdin. I think our conversation highlights the importance of community, mental resilience, and the beauty of nature throughout the hiking journey.#sloggyhikes #hikersessions #atclassof2024 #atclassof2025 #steelhead #appalachiantrail #baxterstatepark #katahdin #springermountain #hikemaine #optoutside #senchidesigns @hyperlite_mountain_gear @senchi.designs
