Spoiler: it’s way bigger than bikes. In this episode of The Mountain Club Podcast , Clare sits down with Mark “Willy” Williams, CEO of Queenstown Trails Trust. From epic loops like the Coronet Track to the idea of Queenstown becoming the poster child for smart, sustainable town planning, Willy breaks down how trails fuel not just adventure but transport, conservation, community and connection.
