    Ep. 68: Long Range Traverse
    Nov 1 2025

    Aaron Reinke and Penney Gilbert join Jeremy to talk about their hike of the Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada. This route takes hikers across a wild and trailless landscape of alpine scenery, forest, gorges, and beautiful fjords. Jeremy tells us how "Newfoundland" is actually pronounced, which we learn can be a matter of life and death. And there are even vikings and a Venetian that figure prominently in Newfoundland's history.
