In this episode of the Pixel Meditations we talk about the development of hiking in the 20th century. We cover aspects of hiking during this time such as its early philosophical underpinnings represented by thinkers such as John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt. We get into major outdoor accomplishments of this time such as the summiting of Mount Everest and the development of thru-hiking in the United States. Finally we talk about the development of hiking infrastructure during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps as well as hiking in the modern era and how the advent of the internet has profoundly impacted the perception of nature and how youtube has given people a new view into the natural world. Please follow us and enjoy the episode!
