Hike – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Erik gives Hike an introduction into Colorado adventures. As someone who moved from Upstate NY to Colorado, Erik gives some comparisons and contrasts  between Adirondack and Rocky Mountain hiking.  Erik touches on both the more adventurous backpacking peak bagging and route finding and also gives some recommendations for the more casual day hiker.

Nick shares his summer hiking from Springer to Harper's Ferry. He hiked 1000 miles also wearing one of my Hike hats. We chat about what it is really like on trail and the lessons he took back afterwards. This conversation inspired me and I know it will inspire you. On trail or off trail, Nick's story will resonate with you.

Heidi "Picasso" Nisbett aka Sketching Summits shares her journey from her first long thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail to helping to blaze the hiking community within Charlotte, North Carolina. Heidi shares how the Appalachian inspired her to sketch (and be featured as a Appalachian Trail Conservancy featured #trailismymuse artist), and find a community of hikers as she brings all types of hikers together as part of Trail Talks and meetups at Blue Blaze Brewing.  She's hosted thru hikers Jessica "Dixie" Mills, Jennifer Pharr Davis and Heather Anderson.

We cover her section hikes of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail through the wilderness of the Linville Gorge and  the urban trails in Raleigh-Durham. She shares trail stories and favorite parts of hiking the Art Loeb Trail, Foothills Trail, Superior Hiking Trail and more.

Reach out to Heidi to check out her art or even commission a sketch of your own favorite summit photo.

Paul Barach takes us on his 2010 pilgrimage around Japan's Shikoku Island, visiting 88 Buddhist temples on a 750 mile walk around the island. Only knowing a few words in Japanese and minimal research, Paul not only learns a lot about himself but about he generosity and kindness he is met with by those who he encounters along the way.  His journey is a good reminder that we need to temper expectations and immerse ourselves in the moment and be part of the journey, no matter the outcome.  His memoir "Fighting Monks and Burning Mountains: Misadventures on a Buddhist Pilgrimage" is told with humor and honesty as he navigates through this life changing journey.

John takes listeners on his section hike of the Pinhoti Trail. We also talk about section hiking the Appalachian Trail and his hike of the Benton MacKaye Trail.

"The Pinhoti Trail is a Southern Appalachian Mountains long-distance trail, 335 miles (540 km) in length, located in the United States within the states of Alabama and Georgia. The trail's southern terminus is on Flagg Mountain, near Weogufka, Alabama, the southernmost peak in the state that rises over 1,000 feet (300 m). (The mountain is often called the southernmost Appalachian peak, though by most geological reckonings, the actual Appalachian range ends somewhat farther north in Alabama.) The trail's northern terminus is where it joins the Benton MacKaye Trail. The trails highest point is Buddy Cove Gap, with an elevation of 3164 feet near the Cohutta Wilderness. Its lowest point above sea level is close to Weogufka Creek near Weogufka State Forest at 545 feet.

The Pinhoti Trail is a part of the Eastern Continental Trail and the Great Eastern Trail, both very long-distance US hiking trails connecting multiple states. (Wikipedia)"
