If you want to learn about backpacking from someone who knows a thing or two, you’ll want to open your ears to Liz Thomas. She’s hiked over 17,000 miles of trail along the Triple Crown of Thru Hikes, captured the Fastest Known Time on the AT, and spent countless miles along many other trails in the US over the years. The good news for you is that she’s decided to open up her experiences so that others may learn from her successes and trials in the form of not only an incredible book, but also an online course.

Liz Thomas is not only a hiking rockstar, but she’s a great person who just wants to help you get better and reach your full potential. If you want to chase down a long distance trail of your own one day, she’ll help you. Or, if you just want to get out there for your first time, well, she’ll have your back there too.

This episode is loaded with great advice and information on backpacking, so sit back, relax, and enjoy this chat with Liz Thomas.
