Episode 82: Sage Clegg on Thru-Hiking, Wildlife Biology, and Building an Adventurous Life


Listen Later

On this episode: tortoise helicopters, misplaced vs lost, and names that sound like trail names, but aren’t. We’re talking with adventurer, triple-crown thru-hiker, and wildlife biologist Sage Clegg.

We talk with Sage about her “name-name”, her path to thru-hiking — which also led to her working with desert tortoises — and building a life that allows her to prioritize outdoor adventure.
