Yither & Yonder

Two besties, one long hike, hundreds of miles, zero idea of what we'd gotten ourselves into, and countless stories. Ah-ha moments, crashouts, and near death experiences from our time on the John Muir Trail. Yither and Yonder is a podcast hosted by Em and Nikki, best friends who set off on a transformative long-distance hike on the John Muir Trail nearly a decade ago. Join us as we share the laughter, challenges, and magic we experienced on the trail. We strive to create a supportive space that celebrates exploration, embraces quirks, and reclaims the whimsy of storytelling. Through humor and heartfelt narratives, we aim to inspire listeners to connect with nature and pursue their own adventures, big or small. Whether you're headed yither or yonder, join us in reminiscing on the highs and lows of our storied mountain wanderings. John Muir Trail. Long-distance hiking. Backpacking. Wilderness. Friendship. Stories from the trail.
