In the very first episode of The Hike ADK Show, we kick things off with the heart behind it all — why this podcast exists, how Hike ADK was born, and what it means to build something for the Adirondack hiking community, not just about it. Jonathan shares the origin story of the platform, reflects on years of hiking and writing, and unpacks the mission to keep the Adirondacks forever wild — and forever accessible.
We dive into early spring trail conditions, spotlight a forgotten peak with a strange backstory, answer your questions, and launch weekly segments like Ranger Report, Peak of the Week, Hot Takes, and Trailhead Trivia.
Whether you're deep in the High Peaks or just planning your first hike, this is your new backcountry basecamp. Welcome to The Hike ADK Show.
