#41 Superior Hiking Trail with Jo Swanson

In this episode, we talk with Jo Swanson who is part of the Superior Hiking Trail Association team of staff members.  Jo has been a trail volunteer since 2007 and staff since 2015.  She coordinates volunteers and trail work and manages trail data and mapping.  We cover how Jo got involved in trail work and talk about her hiking background.  The Superior Hiking Trail is a well-loved trail covering 310 miles of northern Minnesota.  Stretching from lakeshores to cliff overlooks, the trail holds a special place in many people’s hearts.  We are all trying to navigate how to safely get back on the trails this summer with the pandemic amongst us.  We dig deep into the information and logistics about the Superior Hiking Trail.  We talk about proper trail use during the pandemic,  trail trips,  some favorite spots on the trail, and ways people can support the trail. For avid Superior Hiking Trail users or for those just starting out, this is a must-listen for you!
