A helpful guide for all things hiking-related, including preparation and planning, gear tips, safety, and things to do for staying active as we age. I give lots of tips from choosing a backpacking to using hiking poles, and more!

Great info in this article about the stuff you need to get started hiking as well as lots of information you need to know. I talk about using what you already have to get going. 

Great conversation with host Stone Peyton as we discuss why we walk, what the outdoors offers us, and how mindful practices might enhance individual lives and team experiences. We even talk about how it can be a part of community engagement.
