Finding good food to take with you on a hike can always be a challenge. Trail Mix and energy bars can only go so far. Marty Cowan is trying to change that. She wrote the book - Table to Trail: Plant Based Meals for Day Hikers. This book focuses on easily transportable meals you can cook ahead and have a nice picnic out on the trails. We talk about the book, having a plant based diet, and what motivated Marty to make some lifestyle changes and how she has stuck to the plan for over a decade.  A really fun conversation.  You can purchase her book here: https://amzn.to/399RX14  #hiking #adventure #trail #food #podcast #nature #plantbased #outdoors #snacks #cookbook

Hiking can be a great activity with friends or a truly satisfying solo adventure. This week on the podcast I go over one of my blogs, Hiking Alone Not Lonely Hiking. I have spent a lot of time on the trail by myself and it is an amazing feeling that might be perfect for some.  The contrast to life in a busy city to a quiet and still trail are always something I have enjoyed.  That and the Hike of the week in this weeks podcast.  #hiking #hikes #nature #outdoors #adventure #trekking #wanderlust #podcast #exploremore #hikemoreworryless

Most people who enjoy Outdoor Recreation in Colorado don't realize how much of what they enjoy is actually funded by the Colorado Lottery.  I spoke with the Director of the  lottery, Tom Seaver, about the unique program that has provided BILLIONS of dollars for outdoor organizations throughout Colorado.  We talk about the program itself and a fraction of the projects that it is currently helping to fund.  I was pleasantly surprised by how much of the lands that we all enjoy from playgrounds to state parks have been supported by this project.  A very fun and informative interview.  #outdoors #outdoorrecreation #nature #colorado #hiking #podcast #interview #parks #playgrounds  #coloradolottery
