In our Season 8 Finale we have an amazing guest who shares her incredible journey that led her to hike the Pacific Crest Trail in 2023. Her name is Chloe also known as Chickpea when on the trails and you can follow her on Instagram, @_itsmechickpea ( _itsmechickpea)
We talk to Chickpea about growing up on the Eastern Coast of Canada, living in Europe, and her inspirational journey that led her to complete the PCT in 2023. She shares some memorable experiences in the desert sections, trekking through the snow covered Sierras, and ultimately making it all the way back home to Canada and reaching the Northern Terminus. If you ever dreamed of hiking the PCT or getting into thru-hiking, this episode is for you.
