Blazing Trail, Episode 5 Teaser – A Hike to Commemorate 40 Years on the Trail

The day of hiking was organized by the Superior Hiking Trail Association as a way to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the SHT. Over 400 hikers took to the trail that day, and we hear from a few of them in this community-focused episode of the Blazing Trail podcast.
