Summary
At his 40th birthday party, Jesse Cody looked around a room full of sixty people who loved him and thought: this is probably the last time I’ll see all of you. Jesse is the founder of Hike the Good Hike, a nonprofit dedicated to mental health advocacy through nature, a triple-crown hiker, and a Hoka-sponsored athlete. But before any of that, he was a man living a double life — the life of the party on the outside, a person silently drowning on the inside. This is the story of what he was carrying before the Appalachian Trail, what those 2,200 miles asked of him, and what came back from Maine. Dark Miles is a narrative documentary series from Hiker Trash Radio. These are the stories that happen on the trail that the finish-line photo never captures.
