Hike the Camino de Costa Rica! Part II: The Logistics Costa Rica has a new long distance trail that runs from the Caribbean (Atlantic) to the Pacific Ocean. This 16 day, 280 km/175 mi trail takes you through five ecosystems and more than a dozen rural villages not seen by most tourists. In fact, the Costa Rica Camino is helping these locals afford to stay in their beloved home towns because they are feeding and housing the thru hikers, and even starting new businesses with optional excursions and classes! It's a "Win-Win" for hikers AND locals! But the trail is still new and the infrastructure is just being fleshed out. On today's show (Part I of a two part series), we learn what we will see and experience. In Part I, we learn about the trail itself...what you see and do.

The Middle Fork of the Salmon River in central Idaho is one of the earliest designated Wild and Scenic Rivers in the US and is considered the crown jewel of the system. The Salmon River flows through the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area.The river flows through a steep canyon with 7000' of vertical drop, making it deeper than the Grand Canyon. Last summer, I joined a dozen other ladies, soon to be friends, on a week long rafting and boating trip down this remote, untouched absolutely stunning wilderness where there is no electricity, no cell phones, not even a road or building for more than 2 million square acres! It's just us, a dory aka paddle boat for those who choose not to raft, and three rafts for those that do, plus four very skilled female guides and a supply raft with two crew. So picture this: it's just us and the pines, the canyons and the eagles, and of course the river. Get the inside scoop on what you need to know before you raft one of the world's best whitewater rafting runs!

Jenny , an Active Travel Adventures listener lives in Flagstaff and shares her love of her beautiful adventure paradise on today's show – in fact after we chatted, she wondered if she should just keep Flagstaff a secret! Located in northern Arizona on the southern part of the Colorado plateau, Flagstaff has a metro population over 130,000 which means it's large enough to support great culture and restaurants, yet small enough to retain a community feel. Flagstaff sits next to Mount Elden at the south end of the San Francisco peaks, Arizona's highest mountain range. Surprising to most, Flagstaff has a higher elevation than Denver at over 7000′. This means you can have wonderful adventures year 'round in this high and dry desert landscape, from hiking and biking in the warm months to all of the winter sports in the colder months. Skiers and snowboarders will love the 108″ average snowfall! Unlike much of Arizona, it rarely exceeds 88 degrees F in the summer, and the normal annual range is 19°F to 81°F – perfect!

The Wind River Range in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming, is the mountain range that inspired Yvon Chouinard (founder of Patagonia clothing) to spend his life climbing mountains. Breathtaking in beauty, this remote and rugged mountain range is not nearly as well known as the Tetons, but is just as striking, and not as crowded. Where is the Wind River Range located? The Wind River Range is a couple hour drive south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Most people fly in to the beautiful Jackson Hole airport. Try to allow a couple of days to explore this great town, as well as some days hiking and playing in the Tetons just outside of town. You can listen to the Teton podcast episode and see more photos here. The Wind River Range runs about 100 miles in a NW-SE direction, including about 80 miles of the Continental Divide following the crest of the range. The Wind River mountains include Wyoming's highest peak, Gannett Peak at 13,804′ (4207 m). The range includes two large national forests and three wilderness areas. The entire Wind River Range is part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Part of the range falls within the Wind River Indian Reservations. There are about 600 miles of hiking trails in the Wind River Range and many consider this are to have the most beautiful mountains in Wyoming.

The Kumano Kodo pilgrimage network of trails in Japan traces its roots back 1000 years to when emperors and samurai would trek these forested rural paths to Japan's most important sacred shrines and temples. This beautiful trek is a UNESCO World Heritage trail, the only such trail besides its sister trail, the El Camino del Santiago in Spain. It is a challenging hike with significant ascents and descents. Each evening, you stay in a local traditional Japanese inn, partake in the ritual evening bath, and enjoy the outstanding local cuisine.

Thailand has always been a go-to travel destination, and tourists are drawn to its capital, Bangkok. Instead of going that route, Emily Sedgwick and her husband chose to explore the rural parts of Northern Thailand through a cycle tour from Bangkok to Chiang Rai. Our guests enjoyed every part of their guided tour going through hills, riding narrow boats through mighty rivers and visiting local villages. Emily and her husband got to see the best Northern Thailand has to offer like ethical elephant sanctuaries and sumptuous local dishes. Since they were exploring Thailand by bike, they got to observe the local people and their surroundings even more. Through their journey, Emily realized that Thailand has something for everybody, and she shares how you can have an amazing trip to Thailand as well.

Part III - New Zealand Adventure Series : The North Island The last two podcasts focused on the South Island, including Milford Sound, Mt Cook/Aorika, Queenstown, Kaikora Pennisula, Pancake Rocks and much more. My original plan was to spend one week exploring solo, join Active Adventures (one of my affiliates) on their two week 'Rimu' tour and then continue solo once more for my final week in New Zealand. However, I had so much fun with Active and my group, that once I found out that several of my tour-mates were going to catch the back half of Active's North Island 'Kauri' tour, I decided to scrap my plans (and prepaid accomodations and flight) and book the tour to join them. Best idea I've had in a while! Many people just explore the South Island, but seriously, make the time to head north! It is completely different in landscape and feel, and isn't as crowded. It was the perfect finale to an EPIC holiday!
