#44 | Creating Hiking Guides Read by Millions, From Elite Bike Racer & Corporate Executive to Professional Hiking Guide, Top SoCal Trails, and Gear Recommendations with HikingGuy (Cris Hazzard)


Listen Later

On this episode I have SoCal based trekker, outdoor explorer, professional hiking guide, and creator of HikingGuy.com, Cris Hazzard, join me on the show. We chat about how taking an international corporate job sparked his outdoor journey, the backstory behind creating HikingGuy.com, his top SoCal trails, tips & advice for long day hikes & newbie hikers, tips for outdoor bloggers & writers, current gear recommendations, All Trails vs Gaia GPS, how hiking and nature has impacted his overall life, and the one outdoor experience he would relive all over again. Cris's hiking guides and virtual trail guides have been read and watched by millions online. I have personally been using his guides since the beginning of my hiking journey so having Cris on the show was a full circle moment and true honor to have him join us.
