The simple pleasures of recreational walks -- hiking -- is our topic.  Jeff Herman, avid hiker and editor-and-chief of Lawnstarter, first talks with Lea about the Appalachian Trail and The Pacific Crest Trail.

Lea discusses hiking jargon: "Zero Hike,""Nero Hike" and others.  We also discuss top hikes around the country.  Jeff then talks with Lea about his company's survey of the 10 best places to hike near U.S. cities. 

We end with Jeff's favorite hiking memory .
