“Welcome back to Sierra Rec Now, your podcast for life, travel, and exploration in the Sierra Nevada. I’m your host, Charlie Pankey, publisher of Sierra Rec Magazine. Today, we’re diving into the world of backpacking with a very special guest, Paul Wagner. Paul is a California author, wilderness volunteer, and the founder of backpackingthesierra.com . He’s also a seasoned backpacker with decades of experience in the Sierra Nevada.

Join us as we chat with Paul about his adventures, tips for new backpackers, and his passion for preserving the Sierra’s wilderness. Discover the Influence that Lassen Volcanic National Park had on raising his family in the Sierra and how Park Rangers have not only played a role in his life, but continue to be an inspiration personally and professionally.

Paul’s love for wilderness pours through his stories and this episode will leave you wanting more. We hope you enjoy this episode and join us in being fans of Paul’s work both in his books and his website.
