Are the Adirondacks too romanticized? Do other wilderness areas actually matter? This episode blends community feedback, historical deep dives, and unfiltered conversation on what it means to truly explore and represent the park. We cover everything from the legacy of Charles Brodhead to what “Adirondack” actually means, share trail conditions, hit listener Q&A, and wrap with a trivia round that includes bears, cookies, and bark-eating tribes.
