This wild places program presents a guidebook author’s favorite places to snowshoe in California. Yeah, it’s spring, but there’s still a lot of nice snow up there. Mike White, author of Best Snowshoe Trails of California, tells us what he actually thinks are the very best snowshoe trails in California. He picks trails that start at this trailhead, and at this trailhead. Mike introduced us to snowshoe hiking two weeks ago, in our edition number 129, A Snowshoe Primer. Mike also mentions the option of staying overnight in a backcountry hut; one of the places we mentioned in our edition number 111, a reprise of Indoor Snow camping.

Scared Indoors, part 1
This wild places program asks how mass media might be affecting people’s interest in getting into the wilderness. They came, they saw, they almost bought it; are these the kind of stories that inspire you to get into the wilderness? Steve explores this question with the help of: Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Raymond Garcia, a summer visitor to Yosemite National Park. Fitz Cahall, creator and producer of the podcast, the Dirtbag Diaries. Ryan Jordan, founder and publisher of Backpacking Light Magazine, and participant in the Arctic 1,000 Expedition. Andrew Skurka, noted long-distance hiker, the first to hike the 6,875 mile Great Western Loop. We’d like to include some of your comments in next week’s part 2. Can you give us examples of mainstream media you’ve read, listened to, or watched that scared you away from trying what you saw? Better yet, how about examples of mainstream media describing wilderness adventures that seemed completely within your reach and looked like a good time? Let us know by calling our toll-free comment line at 866-590-7373. Next week, in part 2, we’ll try to answer the question that this week’s program asks. Our thanks to Fitz Cahall for supplying the recording of his interview, and for permission to use an excerpt from his show, No Big Deal.
