Trail CorrespondentsAuthor: The Trek
Trail Correspondents is a teleportation machine to the trail- in audio form. Every other week, a select handful of thru-hikers on the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and the American Discovery Trail, give us a glimpse into the world of long distance backpacking. Through their eyes and vocal cords, we learn all about the highs, lows, and nitty gritty details that go into a half-year, cross-country trek. Trail Correspondents is the next best thing to being on trail yourself. Language: en Genres: Sports, Wilderness Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Lessons Learned | S5 E13
Tuesday, 6 October, 2026
Months on trail have a way of teaching lessons that no guidebook can prepare you for. Our 2026 Trail Correspondents reflect on the moments, mistakes, surprises, and hard-earned wisdom that have changed how they see the AT, PCT, and CDT—and themselves. From things they got completely wrong to advice they wish they could have given themselves on day one, these are the lessons that only thousands of miles can teach.
