On this episode I have Utah based adventure enthusiast, outdoor podcaster, content creator, backpacker, Vice President of Responsible Stewardship, and HIGHLANDER Adventure ambassador, Kenzie Smith, join me on the show.

In this special event edition episode, we chatted about all things related to HIGHLANDER Adventure and the upcoming Big Bear Lake hiking + backpacking festival going down from June 17-21 here in Southern California. We talked about how Kenzie first discovered HIGHLANDER Adventure and became an ambassador, the five different epic event formats participants can choose from, what’s included in each registration, Kenzie’s most memorable experiences during HIGHLANDER Montana and Big Bear Lake, the different activities and entertainment that happen throughout this multi-day event, what participants can expect on their journey to the finish line, tips for beginner & advanced backpackers, the big afterparty for all participants and why HIGHLANDER Adventure is for anyone no matter their hiking or backpacking skill level.
