Hike talks trail with two former guests and one long time listener in three back to back interviews.

In the special episode we cover hiking tips,  getting the next generation involved in trail maintenance, and many trails (North Country, Black Mountain Crest, Linville Gorge, Art Loeb, Colorado 14ers, Mt. Whitney, Cumberland Plateau and even the Smokies).

If you enjoy listening to hiker chat, this is a perfect episode. A special thank you to Misty, Zach and Tim for helping me celebrate 4 years of the podcast. Each hiker shares a little bit of their own unique journey which will inspire you.

Brendle  Wolfe wears many hats, but all connect her to the outdoors. Whether it's as a student, landowner, hiking guide or working professional, there is a common thread of the mountains that makes her whole. Brendle shares her Appalachia with listeners as she touches on what sets this region apart: the hardiness and grit of the people who love and call Appalachia their home, the Blue Ridge Mountains that seem to hold out their loving arms to welcome and embrace you and how a reverence for nature and these mountains connects all of us. She also shares how her family history and upbringing has also inspired her to call these mountains the home of her heart.
