    One of my favorites!
    I just found your podcast and I’ve been binge listening to it. I love the little history lessons given at the beginning! I live in south Texas and love hiking but it’s not the same. I love hearing about other places to ad to my bucket list of hikes!

    This podcast is great!
    This podcast gives a realistic summary of many hiking trails, some popular but also many uncrowded and lesser known. I love that the discussion covers the best parts of a trail but also gives details of difficult parts. It covers the hike, views, camping sites, wildlife encounters, water sources, all the important stuff! I’m binging all the episodes now. Thanks for a great podcast!

    Warning: Your Bucket List Will Get Longer
    Fantastic resource to introduce you to hiking trails both familiar and ones you wouldn’t discover on your own otherwise. Love the mix of both traditional backpacking routes as well as trekking routes (both domestic and international) of a hut-to-hut or similar flavor. The host and guests are engaging and will feel like your friendly trail companions through each episode. You are sure to discover new compelling regions and trails and add to your list of hikes to check out!

    Thoroughly enjoyable
    Intelligent, sincere, calmly enthusiastic—this podcast is good for whetting the appetite to get out and hike, for escaping into thoughts about traveling to places near and far and learning the earth with your feet. I’ve listened to 4 episodes since discovering it a couple of weeks ago, and look forward to more.

    Authentically good info and stories
    This is my favorite hiking podcast. I appreciate the history and context shared along with the experience of long trails, as well as practical information for people who want to hike. Jeremy seems to be doing this out of a genuine love and enthusiasm for the outdoors, and is not trying to be an "influencer" nor does he engage in the tiresome, pointless banter I have heard on so many other hiking podcasts. Jeremy, I am so grateful to you for this excellent quality podcast! I look forward one day to writing to you about my experience on a trail I learned about through your podcast. Thank you for your diligence, dedication and inspiration!

    South Warner Wilderness
    Love the show! I was pleasantly surprised to hear the mini on the Warner Mountains. I hiked to Patterson via the Pine Creek trail a few years ago. What a beautiful and secluded wilderness.

    I really enjoy the show!
    There are some really great guests and episodes in this podcast. I like the new feature of “mini” trips and am looking forward to more of those. My favorite episodes have been for the places I’ve never even thought of going, like the Superior Hiking Trail, the Uinta Highline Trail, and the Via Transilvanica.

    Great info for hikers and trekkers
    Just listened to the Kumano Kodo episode. Great info especially as I’ll be hiking there next fall. Looking forward to learning about other great hikes. Entertaining and informative.

    If you are a backpacker you’ll love this podcast!
    I discovered this podcast while driving to the Ruby Mountains to do the Ruby Crest Trail. It was very informative, educational, and entertaining to hear him and his guests discuss, from a hiking boot on the ground perspective, what these trails will be like if you visit them. Day 3 on the RCT I carried the recommended amount of water and it was perfect! I’ve enjoyed many episodes on here. Definitely recommend this show!

    Exceptionally well researched and produced
    And on the top of this, Jeremy is a naturally talented interviewer and a host. I learn a lot. I dream of the trails. I follow them on the map. Can’t wait for next episode. Just an incredible resource, this podcast. Jeremy, thank you so much for doing this !!!

    Tons of great trip ideas
    I am very impressed with the format of this podcast as it includes not only the specifics of many epic hikes/trips but also covers other interesting facts regarding the history and geology of the places. The locations are varied and international as well. It is perfect for hikers and backpackers who are also curious travelers.

    Well presented
    This is one of my favorite hiking/outdoors podcasts. It’s well-presented and informative. I get something from every episode, even if it’s a trail I have no plans to visit. Guests are interesting, and there’s a wide variety of trails discussed, covering all skill levels and trip length. The episodes on the HST are my favorite.

    Grand Canyon
    Great information and fun to listen to! I was searching for a podcast that keeps me interested longer than 5 mins. I found this one when searching for the Grand Canyon. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this episode, and will continue to listen to others. Perfect to download and listen to whole training for my next trekk!

    Excellent hiking podcast
    Jeremy has a great voice and provides really great context behind each hiking experience with history and interesting facts. His podcast inspired me to go to Portugal and hike the Rota Vicentina which was Ana amazing experience I’d never even heard of before the pod

    Love every episode
    Thank you Jeremy for creating this podcast! Hiking has been a source of comfort for me during the pandemic, and these episodes help me stay connected to the trail when I can’t be on it. So excited to try some of these myself in 2022.

    Clouds Rest
    Excellent podcast Jeremy, I’m planning to hike clouds rest with a good friend of mine soon. We’ll be doing the 7 mile route to the summit through Tanaya Lake I believe. I’m 50, started hiking during Covid and I’m very excited. Tried to get Half Dome permits and failed, but I figured this might be better to start. My wife was a little apprehensive about me going up the cables so I’m glad you were forthright about that in podcast. Your son and daughter seem great, what a blessing to share that experience with them. Gave you a 5 star rating thank you! - Steve @galleg000s on Twitter
