Aria Zoner is the author of The Hot Springs Trail guidebook and a guy who sincerely wants you to experience the landscape as you wish to experience it. In this episode, we talk about the Hot Springs Trail, where it’s at, why Aria created it, and its proposed status as a National Scenic Trail. We also discuss how Aria went from eating junk food on long trails to eating whole foods and how that impacted his overall experiences and performance.
