Today we are joined by Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Trail Angel Laura Peterson or "Beacon." In this Q&A (with our first Trail Angel!!) we talk about her amazing story, her favorite moment from angeling (Cheer might have cried during this one), Mary's Place, the PCT Desert Section, the spirit of the trail, her advice for hikers and trail angels, and much more!
