Last year, I had the deep pleasure of going to Alaska on a trip organized by the company Run Alaska Trails. We did a bunch of trail running, hiking, and exploring, and I realized I never really talked about how it went. So this week, I have Run Alaska Trails founder, owner, and operator, Kim Ryals, on the show to discuss all the fun we had, the incredible things we saw, how Alaska is constantly trying to kill you in the coolest ways, and why a guided experience of Alaska is the best way to make the most of your adventure.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://notyouraveragerunner.com/284
