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!!
