Stacy and Trina Character Analysis

Two close friends hiking the PCT together. Kind, funny, friendly, and helpful, the two women stick together throughout their travels until Trina leaves the trail before reaching Oregon. Stacy later gets off the trail just before Ashland. Though the two women often cross paths with Cheryl and even do some day hikes with her, they respect Cheryl’s desire to undertake most of her journey on her own, and are there for her when she needs them.
