In Part 1, she and Doc cover the summer she ran the Tahoe Rim Trail in eight solo segments during COVID, the NOLS instructor who changed how she thinks about leadership by admitting in real time that she didn't know the answer, and what happens when you hand seventh graders the full reins on a five-day backcountry trip and just watch. Also: the Katadyn BeFree filtered soft flask, the trail name Carl, candy salad, and what you get when you give salmon a 25-fish personal limit plus 10 per household member. Part 2 drops in 10 minutes.","meta_description":"Carolyn Highland is a writer, outdoor educator, and endurance athlete whose new essay collection, The Full Range, is out this October from Rocky Mountain…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2064,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/hiker-trash-radio-2158694/episodes/the-full-range-carolyn-highland-part-i/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hiker-trash-radio-2158694/the-full-range-carolyn-highland-part-i.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
