Join Mile Marker on her quest to discover what it means to live authentically. Each episode will discuss themes like how to listen to your body, understanding ways to be true to yourself, and learning what deep fulfillment looks like, inspired by her 2024 hike from Mexico to Utah across the state of Arizona.
Today is Mile Marker's one and only zero day on her hike of the Arizona Trail. Mesa Arizona experienced a downpour, but that did not put a damper on the visit to REI or Chinese food dinner. Tune in to hear her discuss the glorious picnic on day 21 and her opinions on rest.

Day 21: Is this Roosevelt Arizona or is this the French Alps?
On her second day in the Superstition Wilderness, Mile Marker records her thoughts within a gusty wind. She remarks on the distinctions between BLM land, national forest, and wilderness land. She also compares arriving in Roosevelt Arizona to her recent hike around Mont Blanc in France, Italy, and Switzerland. Can you guess which had better mid-trail snacks...?
