In this special episode of Papa Bear Hikes, we welcome back a dear friend and avid hiker, Jake "Sidetrack" Arens. Jake, who has completed the Appalachian Trail Thru-hike, returns to inspire both those with Cerebral Palsy and hiking enthusiasts alike.

Join us as Jake shares his journey, emphasizing the importance of listening to your body and taking each hike one day at a time. He offers practical tips, tricks, and trails, and discusses how he manages to balance his life as a golf course greenskeeper, freelance writer, and traveler.

Jake also talks about the trials and tribulations of his recent European excursion, providing insights and stories from his adventures abroad. His story is a testament to determination and passion, motivating others to embrace the outdoors regardless of their challenges.
