Sofia Garcia sings. "Because I'm happy," she tells me. She sings at the trails too. Excessive desert heat doesn't seem to bother her. "¡Hola, hija!" We stop for a bit, chat, and during these fleeting breaks I got to know Sofia and learn what her songs are about.

Leah Howlett is one of the fastest on the mountains. I'd heard about her races long before I met her. But this is not a story about endurance and achievements trained human body can attain. It is a story of life, love and humility.

Kevyn Rene Calvo Miranda is from Mexico. We first met a couple of years back, by the Piestewa Peak Summit trailhead. He lost nearly two hundred pounds walking the trails regularly, he shared.
