Description

Morgan Sjogren is living the dream: She runs, backpacks, and rappels through the canyon country of the American Southwest, living out of a sunshine yellow Jeep Wrangler. She travels the West with nothing but a backpack of thrift-store clothing, her running shoes, some ultralight backpacking gear, and a dream to make the outdoors her home. Known
