Summary
Join us on this inspiring episode of "Papa Bear Hikes" as we welcome the adventurous Netteburg family, a remarkable team of seven who have made history on America’s most iconic trails. From the Appalachian Trail (AT) to the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) and the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), they have not only conquered these challenging hikes but have also set extraordinary records along the way.
Meet Olen (Spreadsheet, age 44) and Danae (Queen Bee), the pillars of this hiking family, along with their incredible children: Lyol (Blaze, 14), Zane (Boomerang, 12), Addison (Angel Wings, 10), Juniper (The Beast, 7), and Piper (Dead Weight, 2). Discover how their 2-year-old, Piper, embarked on the CDT at just eight months old and the PCT at one, possibly becoming the youngest hiker on these trails. Learn about their four-year-old, Juniper, who astonishingly finished the AT entirely on her own before turning five in 2020, and later became the youngest Triple Crowner at the age of seven.
The Netteburg family's journey is not just about setting records; it's a story of resilience, teamwork, and the unique strengths of each family member. They have redefined what's possible for family hiking adventures and have inspiring tales from the trails to share.
Tune in to hear firsthand about their preparations, challenges, and unforgettable moments on these epic trails, and how they’ve grown as a family through these experiences.
