After a 6 hour hike up to Lone Pine Lake on the outskirts of Rocky Mountain National Park, I sat down with Bradley Hilton to reflect on the summer we spent working together at the Grand Lake Marina, society's increasing distance from our spirituality and connection with nature, how climate change is our civilization's biggest threat, and much more. Bradley grew up in Grand Lake, CO and has spent the last decade traveling the world and pioneering the fairly new sport of competitive stand up paddle boarding. He has competed in white water rivers all over the world and hosts guided adventures for anyone who is interested. 

The East Troublesome Fire has significantly shaken the community here, but as Bradley stated in the episode, fire is a natural process and it leaves new potential for life to flourish. We can also flourish in the wake of this disaster. To donate to the Grand Foundation's Emergency Wildfire Fund please visit:
