Foothills Trail with Zach and Corin
3/21/2024
Zach and Corin share their Fall 2023 hike on the Foothills Trail. We chat about their 5 days on trail and touch on food carry, water, campsites, wildlife on trail and so much more.
Both Zach and Corin have previously been on Hike to share their individual hiking stories and adventures, so I'm excited to be able to have them on together for the first time. They talk candidly about what it's like to hike as a couple and how it's brought them closer together.
Zach is currently finishing out his yearlong DayLoeb (hike the Art Loeb in a day once a month for 13 months) leading into his 40th birthday. Corin is planning for an upcoming 2024 trip to Yellowstone while Zach will look at doing his own hike of the Bartram Trail.

Boots on the Trail - Hike for Healing
6/1/2023
Lee, trail name Boots, shares information about his annual Hike for Healing. This year the hike will be on June 19th on Segment 1 of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail. Listen in to learn how you can bring awareness to this issue and be an ally by supporting the hike.
"Hike for Healing is an annual hike promoting ongoing awareness to strive towards healing of divisions. Why? Because humanity is imperfect. Racism, inequity, cultural insensitivities, social injustices, and even subtle prejudices are quite real and unfortunately play a role in everyday life. These are not political problems, these are human problems." - Bootsonthetrail.com
