Tracy McClelland: “Trails is the best therapist we have”
“I truly believe that trails are the best therapy for the people of our country. People would do better if they took a heavy backpack with all the shit that they believe they need in the world and walk out and deal with themselves.”
Hannah Huscher: Building Back Better
“We were in it together. Our season there was pretty rough. We woke up in the morning and it was like 10 degrees. It was negative 16 degrees overnight. We're waking up thinking, ‘this sucks, but we're in it together.’ That's what made me want to stay.”
Laurie Aldrich: Hardass to Badass
“I just find that people that work trails are some of the hardest working, down to earth, honest, real, good people. This lifestyle appeals to a certain kind of people that are not afraid of hard work, not afraid of community.”
