Zach and Corin share their Fall 2023 hike on the Foothills Trail. We chat about their 5 days on trail and touch on food carry, water, campsites, wildlife on trail and so much more. 

Both Zach and Corin have previously been on Hike to share their individual hiking stories and adventures, so I'm excited to be able to have them on together for the first time.  They talk candidly about what it's like to hike as a couple and how it's brought them closer together. 

Zach is currently finishing out his yearlong DayLoeb (hike the Art Loeb in a day once a month for 13 months) leading into his 40th birthday.  Corin is planning for an upcoming 2024 trip to Yellowstone while Zach will look at doing his own hike of the Bartram Trail.

The Hexatrek with Lauren Roerick

Nick shares his summer hiking from Springer to Harper's Ferry. He hiked 1000 miles also wearing one of my Hike hats. We chat about what it is really like on trail and the lessons he took back afterwards. This conversation inspired me and I know it will inspire you. On trail or off trail, Nick's story will resonate with you.
