S09 - Episode #08 - Jory
In this episode of Hikes & Mics, we’re joined by Jory, an adventurous occupational therapist based in Arizona who has explored all 50 states in search of breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable hikes. From the rugged deserts of the Southwest to the glaciers of Alaska, Jory shares her love for travel, the moment she knew Arizona was home, and the near-miss flash flood that taught her a valuable lesson about nature’s power.
We also dive into her favorite national parks, her love of steep climbs, and the incredible ice-climbing experience in Alaska that left her speechless. Plus, she shares how she met her fiancé through a shared passion for the outdoors and their big plans for 2025.
If you love epic travel stories, national park inspiration, and tips for tackling challenging hikes, this episode is for you!
