Tristen Murphy, from the Hike the Good Hike cohort, returns to the show to tell us why she has switched the focus of her upcoming hike from the John Muir Trail. Find out where she's going now.

Don't forget; you can follow me on my hike this year by going to Polarsteps.com/MightyBlue and clicking on the follow button. I used my hike in 2024 on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters % . I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget.

Check it out. I often ask listeners for ideas on who to…
