Hello, welcome to another episode of Papa Bear Heights.

0:04.0

Today I want to welcome to the Pop of Our Heights Podcast, Dr. Morgan Rosnahan,

0:09.6

also known as Blaze. Blaze, welcome to Papa Bear Hikes.

0:13.0

Thank you. It's good to be here.

0:16.0

So Blaze, you're a hiker yourself. You've done some through hikes.

0:20.0

Why don't you tell us, said to me just reading from your bio?

0:23.5

Tell us about yourself.

0:25.8

Yeah, so while I graduated physical therapy school

0:29.4

in 2017, and then that's when I finally had time to do some more substantial hikes because I didn't have to go to school time.

0:37.0

And I started with the long trail in the fall of 2018, which is a very wet and pretty but rewarding hike.

0:46.6

And then that was kind of my shakedown preparation hike to do the PCT. I figured if I still liked through hiking after that trail literally beating me up, then there's a good chance I would enjoy the PCT.

1:56.0

What a great trail hike.

1:57.0

It is, yeah. And if it teaches you one thing, it's you got to just love actual hiking, because if you're doing it for the views

2:06.0

There's a good chance they're gonna be sucked in when you get up there.

2:09.8

Yeah, you will spend several hours walking through a green tunnel.
