Diversity on the trail is a heavy, but important subject. It's impossible to do this subject justice in the span of an hour long podcast, but it's a conversation worth having nonetheless. Our hikers touch upon the diversity (or lack thereof) they've witnessed on trail, specifically across age, nationality, gender, sexual preference, and race. We also hear from Elsye "Chardonnay" Walker, who's one of the few (if not the only) black woman to hike the triple crown, who shares her take on the subject.
