Outdoor Explorer

Outdoor Explorer logo

Outdoor Explorer invites listeners to step outside into Alaska. Discover a new trail or fishing hole, learn what to pack, when to go, and most importantly how to stay safe. Learn about life-long fitness and get inspired to go outside in the backcountry from the people who know the land best – outdoor guides, park rangers, coaches, authors, artists, lodge owners, bush pilots, educators and you, the explorer.

Hosted by: Lisa Keller, Martha Rosenstein, Paul Twardock, Adam Verrier, and Amy Bushatz
