Bikepacking the Sky Islands with Sarah Swallow

In this podcast, we hear from Sarah Swallow, who was instrumental in developing the Sky Islands Odyssey bikepacking route in Southern Arizona. The Odyssey is a journey through the vast borderlands of the Southwest, featuring a diverse network of rocky and sandy roads that traverse the ever-changing landscapes characteristic of the Sky Islands bioregion in the Sonoran Desert. Learn about the route and some of its challenges.
