This brief episode is all about the #7DayLocalParksChallenge that I started this past fall in an effort to give local parks the attention they deserve and to encourage myself (and you all too!) to get outside regularly! I am bringing the challenge back and will be taking part over the next week and documenting the challenge through social media posts (@_tosummitup of the To Summit Up Facebook Page). Next week's Trail Talk will also be a compilation of audio snippets from the week. I challenge YOU to check out this episode and then to take part in the challenge yourself! Take action! The Challenge goes as follows:  1. For 7 straight days get to a different local park EACH DAY and spend at least 15 minutes there. You can google local parks around you and you'll find that a ton of them show up! 2. Take a photo at each location and caption it with the park name and what you did there. 3. Post it and use the hashtag #7dayLocalParksChallenge and tag @_tosummitup on twitter and Instagram or post to the To Summit Up Facebook page! 4. Enjoy the perks and resetting yourself that getting outside to a different location each day gives you!!! This Friday, part 2 of the attempted 46 mountain month with Elissa Madonia drops! On Episode 16, we had John Alex Vespa who gave his side of the attempt at climbing all 46 Adirondack High Peaks in 1 month. Now, we will hear from Elissa Madonia! Super exited to share this awesome story through two perspectives! If you enjoyed… If you enjoyed this episode, I ask that you consider leaving a review on iTunes.
