Impossible Odds

To thru-hike just one of America’s long trails is to accomplish a lifelong dream for many hikers. To tackle all three—the AT, PCT, and CDT—is to enter an exclusive club of Triple Crowners and gain hiking superstar status. And to hike all three in a year? That’s nothing short of legendary. In 2021, college students Sammy Potter and Jackson Parell are hitting the trail—er, trails—in an attempt at becoming the newest and the youngest members of that elite group. Join Sammy and Jackson as they cover nearly 8,000 miles against a ticking clock. Will they make hiking history before the year is up? Tune in to find out.
