Having conquered both the Appalachian Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail, Whistler's journey is one of triumph over adversity and the unwavering support of those around him. He regales listeners with tales of meticulous preparation, the invaluable assistance of his devoted wife, his loyal hiking companion "Scooby," and the kindness of trail angels encountered along the way. Surviving a harrowing 67-foot fall in the mountains on his 60th birthday, Whistler's story is one of resilience and the profound depths of the human spirit. Through his experiences, he offers insights into the emotional and spiritual dimensions of the trail, alongside his enthusiasm for the culinary delights (Nutella anyone?!) enjoyed during his epic hikes. Join us for an inspiring episode as we delve into the extraordinary adventures of this American-Canadian icon.
