Hiker Sessions - "Season 2 Finale"

Welcome back to Hiker Sessions. It’s hard to believe, but we’ve reached the season finale of Season 2. This season has taken us across rugged miles, into unforgettable stories, and deep into the heart of what it means to hike not just the trails, but the journeys that shape us. From early morning starts to hard-earned summits, from quiet moments in the woods to powerful conversations with those who live this lifestyle every day, it’s all led us here. In this final episode, we’re taking a moment to reflect, to celebrate, and to look ahead to what’s next. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just joined along the way, we’re glad you’re here for this one. Let’s hit the trail one more time this season. #hikersessions #applachiantrail

Hiker Sessions - RE-RELEASE: Shaw's Hiker Hostel

Kimberly and Jarrod Hester, known on the trail as Hippie Chick and Poet, are the current owners of Shaw's Hiker Hostel in Monson, Maine, located about 2 miles from the Appalachian Trail. Together they thru-hiked the AT from Georgia to Maine in 2008. After working as schoolteachers for a few years they decided to change their lifestyle for the betterment of their family and purchased Shaw’s in 2015.We sat down with them to discuss their thoughts as they approached the 10-year anniversary of owning Shaw's. They discuss their future goals, how they have integrated their family and lifestyle into the hostel, how they get excited as another hiking season rolls around, and what they still love about it even 10 years later.@shawshikerhostel #shawshikerhostel #at2026 #atnobo2026 #atclassof2008 #monsonmaine #trailtown #100milewilderness #poetsgearemporium #applachiantrail #hikemaine #hostellife #pancakecairn #hikersessions #senchidesigns #thruhiking #thruhike #sloggyhikes
