About this listen

On the final day of an unforgettable adventure in Crested Butte, Colorado, blind and visually impaired veterans gather on the Oh-Be-Joyful Trail to reflect on a week filled with physical challenge, camaraderie, and personal growth. In this episode, host Steve Baskis captures raw, heartfelt conversations with fellow veterans and supporters during a mountain hike that marks the culmination of adaptive cycling, climbing, and rafting activities. These interviews offer insight into what it means to navigate life after vision loss—and how experiences like this can reignite purpose, independence, and connection. The episode also highlights the important work of the Adaptive Sports Center, which made this week of transformation possible.
