Join Cheryl Talbert as she talks about her experiences as a member volunteer and Hiking and Backpacking leader for the Mountaineers.

"The Mountaineers is an outdoor community teaching you skills to explore the outdoors safely and responsibly. Founded in 1906, we've been getting people of all ages outside for over 100 years. We are passionate about building a community of people who are knowledgeable and care about the outdoors. We work to protect the outdoor experience for generations to come. 

Our mission is to enrich the community by helping people explore, conserve, learn about, and enjoy the lands and waters of the Pacific Northwest and beyond." courtesy of mountaineers.org

Cheryl talks about her personal experiences taking hikers throughout the Pacific Northwest and trekking all over the world as a leader for the Mountaineers. We chat about the social aspects of hiking, gear, being a student and the opportunities as a member and guest of the Mountaineers.
