Episode Description: Peaks & Panhandle: Adventures with Sarah and Brad (part 2)

In Part 2 of our 3-part series with Sarah and Brad, we leave the flatlands behind and head for the high points—literally. After learning about the Amarillo Hiking Group in Part 1, we now dive into the duo’s experiences climbing state high points across the country.

From surprisingly scenic summits to brutal weather turnarounds, they share the real stories behind their peak-bagging adventures. Which climbs took them by surprise? Which pushed them to the edge? And which are still calling their name?

We also explore how they prepare for big hikes—including what went wrong, what they wish they’d known, and how they deal with those inevitable trail curveballs like gear failures and unexpected injuries.

Whether you’re dreaming of your own summit list or just want to hear how regular hikers tackle big goals, this episode has trail-tested insight, laughs, and plenty of peaks worth chasing.
