In this episode Brad and Holly catch up on summer travels and recommendations for California and Southern Oregon outdoor adventures, plus discuss Yosemite's controversial decision encouraging visitors to knock down cairns in the park. Also in the podcast: the climate crisis, and an interview with Weekend Sherpa contributing content creator Heather Werner, recently cast in Naked & Afraid for an episode filmed in Africa, and currently solo biking from Canada to Mexico.

Program Note: This podcast episode discusses wildfires in the US and Canada and was recorded before the devastation of the Maui wildfires, the deadliest in modern US history. Our thoughts are with the people in Lahaina and Maui who are suffering in the aftermath. If you are able to support Maui in giving what you can, reputable news outlets and individuals have provided guidance on places to donate, including American Red Cross, The Maui Strong Fund, and The Maui Humane Society, among others.
