   Hiker Sessions - Steve & Olivia on the CDT - Episode 5

   Steve, Olivia, and Chit Chat join Sloggy for the final special CDT episode, sharing stories from the last 450 miles of their journey: remote terrain, difficult route choices, unpredictable weather, Glacier National Park permit chaos, and the race to finish before winter arrived. They discuss how the CDT compares with the AT and PCT, why alternate routes can make the trail both more exciting and more complicated, and how preparation, stretching, and the right shoes helped them finish feeling stronger than they had after previous long-distance hikes. The conversation also explores what it means to complete the Triple Crown, the challenges of returning to everyday life after months on the trail, and what adventures may come next. Join us for a memorable finale filled with wilderness, perseverance, laughter, and hard-earned perspective from one of North America’s greatest long-distance trails. #sloggyhikes #hikersessions #cdt2026 #triplecrown

   Hiker Sessions - Steve & Olivia on the CDT - Episode 4

   We catch up with Steve & Olivia as they close in on less than a month before they achieve their triple crown accomplishment. Their trail friend Chit Chat joined them once again, and my good buddy Solar also jumped in on the show as he and I were in the middle of our John Muir Trail hike. I hope you enjoy the episode!

   Hiker Sessions - Steve & Olivia on the CDT - Episode 3

   Hello everyone and welcome back to a special edition episode of Hiker Sessions. We're currently in between season two and three, but we've decided to follow our good friends Steve and Olivia, or Econoline and Dixon, as they are known on the trail, as they inch further north toward finishing their triple crown achievement of completing all three long trails in the United States: the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and the Continental Divide Trail. They're also joined by special guest, Chit Chat, a young lady they have met along the way and has become a of part of their tramily for now. We'll hear how the rest of Colorado went for them and what their first impressions of the state of Wyoming are. I hope you enjoy the episode!#hikersessions #sloggyhikes #CDT2026
