What’s it like to enjoy the outdoors after the age of 50? We’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes that helps answer that question with the voices and experiences of you, the listeners.

We’re honored to be highlighting the wisdom and experience of women in their 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. These are voices that we don’t hear as often in our youth-obsessed culture. All of these stories are extraordinary for their willingness to share, try new things, and encourage others to do the same.

They share how their relationship with the outdoors has changed since turning 50, what transitions have had most impact on their lives, what they do with the extra time when their children have grown, and (our favorite) advice for their younger selves.
