Jeff Hansen finds that many people come to the trail after some emotional distress. “We’ve had people who’ve lost family members in accidents, and the trail becomes their family,” he said. “I think it’s a great idea, to use this to sort things out.” He believes the trail simplifies a persons life and lets him get closer to his innermost thoughts. “A simple walk in the woods for the afternoon does that. Six months of it has to be that much better,” he said.
