Pippa chats with Hike about her first big backpacking trip on the John Muir Trail and how that experience started her on the path that led her to hike in the North Carolina mountains. Pippa is also a singer-songwriter who gets a lot of inspiration from hiking in the outdoors. 

We specifically touch on the Roan Highlands and the AT from Carver Gap to Route 19e, Black Mountain Crest Trail / Mt. Mitchell and her upcoming Art Loeb thru-hike. It's important to note that the Black Mountain Crest Trail has some closures due to being impacted by Hurricane Helene last year. Make sure to check out the most recent information by visiting the state park and forest service info and you can also learn more about North Carolina peaks via the High Peaks Trail Association: https://nchighpeaks.org/
