In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Kristy and Annette—two inspiring women who completely transformed their lives after retirement. In 2015, they sold everything they owned, bought an RV, and set out to live life on their own terms. What began as a “retirement gift” hike on the Colorado Trail quickly evolved into a bold new chapter of full-time adventure. Since then, Kristy and Annette have completed the Triple Crown of Hiking—the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail—and spend each year splitting their time between life on the road and life on foot. Together, they share their journey of choosing freedom, rejecting fear, and expanding the limits of what life after 50 can look like. This episode is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to chase your dreams, explore the unknown, and live life unapologetically. If you've ever felt the urge to change direction, embrace the outdoors, or reclaim your time and energy for what truly lights you up—this conversation is for you.

July 31 2024, a 39-year-old ultrarunner vanished in the rugged North Cascades National Park during a 20-mile trail run. Minimally equipped, he became disoriented on wildfire-altered trails, surviving 30 days on berries and river water. Despite extensive searches by sheriff's deputies, park rangers, and a helicopter, the park's dense forests and remote terrain hid him. A trail crew's chance discovery saved his life as he lay emaciated on a riverbank.

Colorado Outdoors - the Podcast for Colorado Parks and Wildlife
In 2024, Colorado passed House Bill 24-1117 which placed the management of invertebrates and rare plants under CPW's wildlife umbrella.In the next two episodes, we are going to dive more into CPW's management of invertebrates and rare plants by talking with the experts now on CPW's team to make sure the state has a cohesive plan to manage our ecosystems.While Colorado may have been behind some other states when it comes to legislative authority over invertebrates and rare plants, CPW is running fast and looking to be a leader in that space. But it's a really big job.Previously, CPW managed 960 wildlife species. In Colorado, there are roughly 1,000 different native bee species alone, and that's just one aspect of the invertebrate and pollinator community. Of those bees, we have 25 different bumblebee species, with 20% of those currently under federal consideration for listing under the Endangered Species Act.In this episode, we are going to start by talking about our invertebrates. But that is such a broad topic, we've decided to home in on bee species as we chat with Invertebrate and Rare Plant Program Manager Hayley Schroeder and Pollinator Program Conservation Manager Adrian Carper.It's time to pollinate your mind and learn why you should care about the state's bee populations and what makes some of these so unique. Soon, you'll know they are every bit as charismatic as many of the state's famed wildlife species.
What do you do when your heart rate won't come down, the sun is climbing fast, and the Canyon stretches endlessly in both directions?

What makes a man vanish into the woods—only to return as a predator? In this week's ReWired, Dani ventures into the haunted trailheads of the human psyche to unpack the chilling case of Gary Michael Hilton, a drifter-turned-serial killer whose victims were hikers, wanderers, and lovers of the wild. But this isn't just a rehash of his crimes—it's an excavation. We peel back the camouflage of Hilton's mind to explore:Why the wilderness became both his refuge and his hunting groundHow psychological detachment and transient identity fueled his violenceWhether a different intervention—or system—might have stopped himAnd the deeply unsettling question: was Hilton always a killer-in-waiting, or was he shaped by what we overlooked?Dani dissects the justice system's blind spots, the human cost of being ignored or misidentified, and the terrifying allure of the wilderness when survival turns sinister. This isn't just about murder in the mountains—it's about the cracks in society where monsters take root.✨ Plus, an unforgettable personal story from Dani's time in law enforcement—a haunting case that still lingers unsolved, echoing the same bystander indifference and missed chances.

Send us a textI've trained for endurance in all kinds of ways—some smart, some not-so-much. This week, I'm sharing how I built a jogging routine that actually works with my life, not against it. Whether I'm prepping for a thru-hike or squeezing in a jog before the day takes over, I've learned that movement can be reshaped to meet you exactly where you are.If you've ever wanted to jog but felt too slow, too tired, or too unsure of where to begin, I've been there. I'm bringing you stories from the trail, from the road, and from those early days when two miles felt like an event. I'll also share the strategy that kept me from falling off track—especially when motivation faded—and what I've learned from my own missteps (literally).This one's for the folks who want more energy without spending all day chasing it. If you've got a pair of shoes and a few spare minutes, you're already closer than you think. Meet me in this episode, and let's explore what a jogging practice can become when you let go of the noise and start with the smallest, clearest step.Quote of the week:“I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought.” —Arthur BlankRESEARCH CITATIONS1.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Julia Sheehan, known on trail, as Rocket. Julia is a thru-hiker, former Trek Vlogger, social media sensation, nurse, and now a published author. Julia details how impulsive decision-making lead her to the wonderful world that is thru-hiking, inspired in part by everyone's favorite Hiking Viking. Rocket also shares how health issues ultimately forced her off-trail, the unsavory response she's gotten from some in the social media sphere in light of “quitting” and subsequently posting non-hiking content. Julia also shares the process in self-publishing her brand new book, Hiking is the Easy Part, a memoir of her thru-hike on the AT. We wrap the show with some news about Trail Correspondents 2026 edition, the story of a hiker that was found alive at a popular PCT pitstop after being lost in the backcountry for weeks, how much weight people lose during an AT thru-hike (and why it's generally not a good long term weight loss strategy), Chaunce and I have a borderline-impossible coincidence during today's QOTD, and the triple crown of albums.

What does a 500-mile trek through Spain, a rain-soaked trail in Scotland, and a solo summit in Colorado have to do with building a meaningful life or business?In this episode, we share the unexpected lessons learned from long-distance hikes, Ironman races, and conversations on the trail — and how they mirror the journey of entrepreneurship, leadership, and self-discovery.From the spiritual silence of the Camino de Santiago to the muddy mess of the West Highland Way, this isn't just a story about hiking — it's about purpose, progress, and the people who walk beside us (or don't).If you've ever felt like the finish line didn't fulfill you… this one's for you.KEY TOPICS“Hike your own hike”: What this means for life, business, and ignoring the noiseWhy the journey is the reward — not the goal or the finish lineWhat hiking in the rain teaches us about embracing discomfortThe real reason entrepreneurs hesitate to sell their businessesHow solitude reveals what you're actually chasingThe power of walking with the right people, not just anyoneThe Camino de Santiago's secret economy, sacred history, and soul-deep meaningHow to follow the right signs — and know when someone else's path isn't yoursCHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:51 Hiking in Scotland: The West Highland Way02:18 Hiking Etiquette and Annoyances03:28 Conquering Colorado's Fourteeners07:51 The Spiritual Journey of the Camino de Santiago14:44 The History and Experience of the West Highland Way16:54 Group Hiking Dynamics20:35 The Pressure to Grow in Business21:07 Redefining Success: Progress Over Growth21:50 A Lesson from the Parish Priest22:56 Zappos' Unique Hiring Practice23:59 The Importance of Human Connection27:17 The Journey is the Reward33:53 Lessons from Hiking38:31 Embracing Hardship41:21 Final Thoughts on Hiking and LifeCONNECT WITH USwww.decidedlypodcast.com Join us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/decidedlypodcast Join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decidedlypodcast Shawn's Instagram: www.instagram.com/shawn_d_smith Sanger's Instagram: www.instagram.com/sangersmith MAKING A FINANCIAL DECISION?At Decidedly Wealth Management, we focus on decision-making as the foundational element of success, in our effort to empower families to purposefully apply their wealth to fulfill their values and build a thriving legacy.LEARN MOREwww.decidedlywealth.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY DECISION-MAKING TIP EMAILJoin us every Wednesday for more strategies to DEFEAT bad decision-making - one episode at a time!

Grab your bug spray and your bravery — this week, we're heading deep into the woods. In this Encounters episode, we're sharing spine-chilling stories of camping trips gone paranormally wrong from listeners just like you. What was that noise outside the tent? What was that bright flash of light? Who – and WHAT is lurking in the forest at night? Aliens? Humans? Bigfoot? Or something else entirely? All we know for certain is that we are not packing our bags and going camping anytime soon… but we know YOU are and it's best to stay alert. Stories Include: Haunted Appalachia Trail tales A camper's dad sees a doppelgänger leading him into the woods — but she's standing right beside him. Haunted bathrooms on the Machu Picchu trail, complete with a lurking shadow outside the stall. A man in the forest claims he's been aboard the mothership — and offers a book about his alien travels. A woodland trail (or portal?) in Australia marked by creepy dolls, unreal sounding birds, and a cow-shaped spirit waiting in the trees. Whether it's Bigfoot energy, inter-dimensional tricksters, or humans being the scariest things in the forest, this episode will have you rethinking your next hike. Stay safe, stay spooky — and maybe don't venture off into the woods alone. Scooter LaForge tees (as seen on White Lotus and Sabrina). Instagram Watch the video version here.
