Send us a text🎙️ A Life Built on Adventure, Partnership & Big PeaksThis week we sit down with Amy — phys-ed teacher, adventurer, and newly crowned Adirondack 46er — whose journey through all 50 states, 52 national parks, and decades of road trips has become a lifelong mission to explore the outdoors.  She shares how a chance reconnection with her now-husband sparked 26 years of adventure, how Mount Marcy in winter lit the fire, and how every summit has taught her something about perseverance, presence, and letting go. 🌄  We dive into her favorite national parks, hiking abroad in the Lake District and Scotland, feeding Highland cows, tackling the Turkey Grand Slam, and her next big goal: the Northeast 115. At the heart of it all — a deep love for growth, challenge, and the magic of time spent in nature. ✨Episode Links:Amy on InstagramExplore With Amy - WattpadThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @Hikesandmics AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I’m now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!
