Jesús, @nosotrosennaturaleza
In this episode we're joined by Jesús Mendoza, the passionate founder of Nosotros En Naturaleza, a hiking club based in South Puget Sound. We dive into the origins of the club, their mission to break down barriers for BIPOC youth in the outdoors, and the unforgettable adventures they embarked on in 2024—including a spooky night hike on the infamous Iron Goat Trail! From food and culture to overcoming logistical challenges, Jesús offers valuable insights into making hiking more accessible for everyone. Whether you're an experienced hiker or just getting started, this episode is packed with inspiration and practical tips.
