Hiking Unfiltered

Have you ever heard the story of the Little Engine that Could? Today’s guest shows that same kind of drive and determination to make her dream of thru hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, despite multiple setbacks and course corrections.

Shannon Ryker joins me today to talk about how her hiking passion was ignited, how she is handling life with kids while hiking as often as possible, and her next big adventure. We also address mountain snobbery and yes, that is a thing!

This episode I get to talk to Halo, a mother of four, a hiker, and a true trail angel! Halo shares with us some of the great strategies she and her husband, Disciple, have used for memorable hikes with their kids in tow.

She also gets real with me about how she manages to get in her own "me time" on solo local hikes. By the way, Halo also provided support for her husband, Disciple, who thru hiked the AT in 2017 and is legally blind. Wow! You can see both of their YouTube channels in the notes below.
