Learn about adventure trekking with "Walks of the World" author and adventurer, Gail Perry ! In this episode, Gail gives us insight on why these shorter treks are great - especially for those hikers who don't have 4-6 months for a full thru-hike. This is especially helpful for experienced hikers who can't get back on trail in their current phase of life (hello kids, mortgages, and jobs!). This is also great information and inspiration for hikers just getting into multi-day hikes and backpacking trips. In this episode, you'll learn about: 1. What hut-to-hut or "adventure trekking" actually is & why it's great for hikers who are short on time 2. The gear you'll need (hello UL!) 3. Her top adventure treks around the world (and some overlap with trails you've heard of before) 4. How "Rails To Trails" can come into play, & more!
