After her husband died in 2017, podcast host Robyn Fisher started walking. She walked around the block, went on wilderness hikes, walked on the beach. She went on pilgrimage to Spain and walked the 500-mile Camino de Santiago. She found that she felt the most like herself when her boots were on the trail. In this podcast, Robyn shares her own and others' stories of the power of walking to heal.
Andrew Kollar is a journalist and avid backpacker from Yelm, Washington. He talks with Robyn about his hikes on the Pacific Crest Trail and the Colorado Trail.
