episode 3: Great American Outdoors, Part 1 - with Angel Tadytin
In this episode of Notes From America, Navajo hiking guide Angel Tadytin and I discuss her deep connection with the land of red sand and deep canyons. She explains why walking in national parks makes her both upset and grateful, what differs hiking with a women group from hiking with men, and what we all can do to help keep the most beautiful U.S. landscapes, well, beautiful.
This is part 1 of a mini series about the Great American Outdoors. We recorded the interview in early September.
