Shownotes Transcript

American Perimeter Trail creator & founder Rue McKenrick joins us on the podcast to talk about the creation of this amazing trail - & the community and conservation around it.

Here, we pull from our community's questions and get insight on:

  1. What life looks like post-trail after hiking for 5 years

  2. The process of creating a trail, and the ups & downs along the way

  3. His favorite (surprisingly beautiful) spots along the trail, and much more!
