Show Notes
Operation Freedom March is a yearlong challenge for Arizona veterans, troops, and locals to hike, bike, or ride horseback along the full Arizona Trail. This initiative, led by Navy veteran Michael Chappell, aims to ease stress and support mental health, drawing from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs report on natures role in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The eight hundred-mile trail, stretching from Utah to Mexico, offers higher spots for cooler temps and tips for safe navigation. Open to all, participants can join via the Arizona Trail website to log miles and connect before the July 4, 2026 deadline.
