Relive Trail Days or just live vicariously through Paladin's adventures. We chat about the essentials - the woods, THRU-r Village, what it's like attending for the first time and the joy of the hiker parade. There's lots of stories about his tramily and hikers he ran into while in Damascus.

Paladin's trail magic is a special thing and represents the best of our hiking community.

What happens when you trade a four-decade career in business for the mountains, the trails, and the life you almost left behind? In this episode, I sit down with Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, to talk about adventure, reinvention, and what it truly means to reconnect with the outdoors at any age. Tom's story is a powerful reminder that the call of the wild doesn't have an expiration date; some of the most meaningful journeys begin exactly when you think the adventure is over.

Whether you're an avid hiker, a weekend adventurer, or simply someone who has ever felt the pull of wild places, this conversation will inspire you to lace up your boots and get back out there.
