My latest Roving Nature podcast episode just dropped! In this episode, I talk to Palmer McIntyre and Hollis Oberlies about their book, Trails and Treats – A Hiker and Runner’s Guide to Great Trails and Good Eats in North Carolina. Written by a female hiker and runner duo, the guide is designed for both seasoned hikers and trail runners, as well as first-time explorers. A recipient of the Southeast Non-Fiction award from the National Indie Excellence Awards, this wonderful trail guide combines their passion for the outdoors and good food by offering a collection of exceptional trails alongside a curated selection of delicious local eats, the guide also includes historical, cultural, and geological highlights. We hear about their process of creating the book, what they learned from it, and what has inspired their love and passion for the outdoors.
