September 17, 2020 A message from Jamie and Jim
With wildfires still burning across the Northwest, we're putting some of the episodes we'd already recorded on the shelf. Instead, we talked a little this week about the fires, their effects on people across the region and, of course, how they’ve affected some of the outdoor spaces we treasure. We'll be back with more episodes soon. Meanwhile, please stay safe and healthy.

September 10, 2020 We'll be back soon
In light of the devastating wildfires in Oregon and across much of the West Coast, our planned episode about late summer travel spots just didn't seem appropriate. Be safe, stick close to home, and consider staying inside if there's smoke in the air. Hang in there.

August 13, 2020 Backpacking Mount Hood's Timberline Trail
The Timberline Trail is one of Oregon’s most iconic footpaths. It circumnavigates Mount Hood over roughly 40 miles, traveling through forests, across rivers and through gorgeous meadows — providing backpackers with spectacular views at every turn. This week on the Peak Northwest podcast, we connected with Portland hiker Kyla Skerry, who recently solo-hiked the trail.
