Blazing Trail Ep. 6 Teaser – Trail Helpers

In this teaser for Episode Six of the Blazing Trail podcast we meet Chaz Gallet, the medical advisor for the SHT who also collects and manages hiker logbooks along the trail route. Donna Siska is an SHT volunteer who assists hikers with unexpected situations, thru-hiker resupply and other tasks that make the hikers’ trail experience as good as it can be. We also hear from Peter Smerud, former director of the Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center, a non-profit outdoor school that utilizes a section of the trail that intersects the Wolf Ridge campus to teach children and adults about forest ecology and Lake Superior.
