Boots on the Trail

Hike

Lee "Boots on the Trail" Fortune comes back to the podcast to share exciting updates about this year's Hike for Healing.
"Hike for Healing is an annual event that encourages self-reflection and open, honest, and meaningful conversation to ignite healing of racial and cultural divides…
Healing begins with a conversation.
There are number of things that divide people in this country.
The outdoors connect people in ways that things like politics have not been able to do." (bootsonthetrail.com)
This year's hike will be on Segment 3 of the MST. There are several sponsored hikes organized by the Carolina Mountain Club and Friends of the MST that you can participate in. Go check out Lee's site for more info.
