This week we are joined by Kimball Rexford of TrailsNH.com. TrailsNH has just about every hiking trip report, trail advisory, and forest road closing in the Northeast. By following hiker blogs and hiking forums TrailsNH helps hikers access the most current trip planning information anywhere. It truly is a one stop shop to aggregate information on hiking across new england. Plus the story of a fatality and the ensuing rescue on Mount Washington in 1983 during an unusual weather period where the mountain became completely covered in ice. We have recent hikes on the Grand Traverse, Mount Washington and Pleasant mountains. A rabid fox story that we skipped over last week, Flower drama in Stomps area, claims of Sabotage on Mt. Everest, more details on the Massachusetts hiker attacked by a Grizzly, a fatality at an indoor climbing gym, shark news, and rescues on Mt. Cardigan, Edmands Col, and the Rocky Branch trail

Best hiking podcast

Being from the NH area this is the best hiking podcast. Most relatable to me anyway. Only gripe is most episodes are a bit long at over 2 hours. Still rating 5 Stars!

Keeps me motivated!!

I love your podcast and it has been a great motivator for me since I both lost my mom AND broke my fibula in early May, which meant I couldn't hike to help me with my grief. But I listen to you both and your guests and it is great. Thank you!!
