September 18, 2025 Glacier Bay - Part 1: The Experience
Come join us for a chat about the experience of Glacier Bay National Park. It is a place where nature, culture, and history come together in breathtaking ways. For thousands of years, the Huna Tlingit people have called this land home, weaving their traditions and stories into the glaciers, mountains, and waters that sustain life. In the late 1700s, explorers like Captain George Vancouver first recorded the massive ice fields, but over the past 250 years, the glaciers have dramatically retreated, leaving behind a living laboratory for scientists studying climate change. Today, visitors can witness towering tidewater glaciers, fjords carved by ice, and thriving wildlife from humpback whales to bald eagles. Glacier Bay is more than a national park—it’s a place of cultural resilience, natural wonder, and ongoing discovery.

Join us on this journey through history as we explore El Camino Real de los Tejas. It is one of the most significant routes in early American and Spanish colonial history.

In this episode, we uncover the story behind this ancient trail that once stretched from Mexico City to Louisiana, cutting right through the heart of Texas. From Spanish missions and military forts to vibrant Native American trade routes, El Camino Real was more than a road.

We'll take you through its origins, why it mattered to Spain’s presence in the New World, and how it still impacts Texas today. Whether you're a history lover, a heritage trail explorer, or just curious about the roots of the Lone Star State, this story is worth the trek.
