On this episode I have SoCal based trekker, outdoor adventurer, content creator, travel blogger, diversity + inclusion advocate, and founder of "Hike N Color" hiking group, Joshua Walker, join me on the show. We chat about his journey moving from the South to the West Coast to chase the LA dream, his trail name origin story, our serendipitous encounter on Cucamonga Peak summit in the San Gabriel mountains, the concept of over access to our local mountains, dancing on the trails, his personal experience as a black hiker in the outdoor space, his top SoCal hikes, hiking tips & tricks, his unforgettable Mount Whitney adventure, his journey as a hiking influencer + content creator working with world renown brands, his mission to help diversify the great outdoors, and the one outdoor experience he would re-live all over again. It was an honor to have such a talented content creator and major advocate for diversifying the outdoors on the show. It was not only an incredibly entertaining episode, but a movie like conversation that had alot of depth and different perspectives for us to all learn from and take with us moving forward in our outdoor journeys.
