In this episode, Dyana sits down with Triple Crown backpacker Sam Schild, fresh off his 1,200-mile trek along the Pacific Northwest Trail. From crossing Glacier National Park to navigating the Cascade Range, the Idaho Panhandle, and the rugged Selkirks, Sam recounts the journey that eventually led him to the Olympic coast — and the finish line of one of America’s wildest long-distance trails.

Together, they dive into it all — the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Sam is a storyteller and adventurer based in the American Southwest, and his reflections capture the raw beauty and challenge of life on the trail.
