We're excited to announce a new sponsor that we'll be partnering with this spring and

summer because they're so aligned with the stories we choose to tell.

Merrill.

In fact, we've had many of Merrill's ambassadors on past episodes of the show.

Jenny Bruso, Nicole Brown, and Myrna Valerio, to name just a few.

Merrill exists to give you all that you need to discover the simple yet profound power of the trail.

They believe the trail is for everybody and

every body. Merrill's goal is to provide thoughtfully designed rigorously tested

products that over deliver on performance, versatility, and durability.

Because when you've got air in your lungs

and good shoes on your feet, you've got everything you need.

Over the course of this spring and summer,

we'll be partnering with Merrill to share hiking stories.

Tales from the trail as seen through the eyes of experienced seekers and those who are just finding their way.

We'll tell stories about journeys, about unique paths.

Because everyone's journey is a little different.

And like Merrill, we've always been curious

to know where they intersect and where they are completely their own.

Stay tuned for more stories with Merrill this summer and to learn more in the meantime
