Ariane Petrucci

I started my outdoor career as a climber. Ice climbing in the Northern UP of Michigan was one of my favorite activities. After a torn ligament in my knee, I started hiking and backpacking. Now I backpack all over the country including leading guided Caving Trips. Co-Host of Trust The Trail Podcast

WHAT OUR LISTENERS ARE SAYING

Entertaining and informative, they put backpacking adventures into the reach of all. Their upbeat descriptions and tales from the trail give courage to those who might be tempted to otherwise sit home and only wish they could.
