Trails Worth Hiking

Special guest Tony Wong joins Jeremy to talk about the High Sierra Trail in Sequoia National Park. Jeremy and Tony talk about the bizarre history of the creation of Sequoia National Park and the giant trees that give the park its name. They also recount the history of the building of the High Sierra Trail itself, some key information on hiking in the high Sierra, logistics for hiking the trail, and a possible itinerary. And then Tony tells us about gear he doesn't leave home without, the best backpacking advice he's gotten, his favorite hike, what's next on his list, and whether there's actually a hike that Jeremy couldn't convince him to do.

Author and blogger Nadine Slavinski joins Jeremy to talk about this alpine hut-to-hut hike in the Pyrenees in the Catalonia region of Spain. On this beautiful adventure hikers ascend and descend more than 9,000 meters (30,000 feet) on this 65 kilometer (40 mile) route through Aigüestortes i Sant Maurici National Park.
