Here, we will deep-dive into 3-5 pointed questions that will lead us to more understanding about this common after-trail experience. The goal of this series is to share how we all experience PTD in order to understand individual experiences better, as well as common experiences. Hikers who are willing to share with the group are welcome, and so are hikers who just want to listen in.
