In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we sit down with Crystal Gail, whose journey into the outdoors began in an unexpected way. After battling intracranial hypertension—a rare brain disease—she faced multiple surgeries before ultimately choosing a neuromodulator that changed everything. With a new sense of energy, she quickly went from recovery to running a half marathon in just six weeks. That momentum led her to a deep connection with nature, which eventually inspired her to take on one of the most challenging hikes out there—the Pacific Crest Trail.

With no prior backpacking experience, Crystal learned on the go, proving that resilience and a love for the outdoors can take you further than you ever imagined. We talk about her experience on the trail, what she’s learned along the way, and how time in nature continues to shape her life. Tune in for an inspiring conversation, and be sure to check out Crystal’s journey on her social channels.
