Episode #513 - Lisa Laidlow (High Viz)

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis · Oct 30, 2025 · 58m

Lisa Laidlow came to the trail when she became an empty-nester. She had always been an outdoor girl–often along with her father–yet it was only fairly recently that she returned to hiking and discovered the idea of a thru-hike.

As a black woman on the trail, she was embraced by hikers, though had a few uncomfortable encounters along the way. Despite these rare occasions, Lisa is a strong advocate of getting people of whatever color into the woods and on trails.
