Jen (finally) sat down with Dyana and Jordan who are currently hiking on the Colorado Trail and got the inside scoop as to what they have been up to! There have been understandable challenges, both mental and physical, but also a whole lot of beauty and surprises along the way. Jen asks Dyana and Jordan questions YOU sent in for them, as well as Dyana giving us live updates straight from the trail. We get to hear about the inspiring people they have met, their favorite moments so far, and even stories about some unexpected side adventures. Oh, and did we mention there were mountain lions?
