Ep. 1218: Creating the US Perimeter Trail with Rue McKenrick

Thru-Hiking: The story behind a 15,000-mile trail encircling the entire country, built from a blank map in a tent into a conservation corridor connecting ecosystems and communities alike.

Roo started with a blank map in his tent and literally made it up as he went—over 15,000 miles of discovery, mistakes, and resilience. His journey isn’t just about hiking; it’s about forging a conservation corridor that benefits ecosystems and communities alike. This isn’t just a trail; it's a movement to protect, connect, and inspire. Get your stickers!
