Sage Clegg volunteered to become the first person to hike the entirety of [the Oregon Desert] trail.  In her day job, Clegg studies desert tortoises as a wildlife biologist.  But  as a long-distance hiker, she’s known for her speed. “Some people love curling up with a good book.  And I just really like looking at maps.  I read them like they’re a book.  I look at them and try to get a sense of what it might be like to travel out there,” Clegg says.
