  • Lyla shares her journey of self-discovery, sobriety, and love for the outdoors. Growing up in a community where LGBTQ+ rights were not discussed, Lyla struggled to identify her feelings. It wasn't until she got sober and embraced her gender transition that she found the capacity and resources to step into her authenticity. Lyla's love for the outdoors blossomed after her sobriety, and she embarked on through hikes, including the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, and Continental Divide Trail. She became the first known openly trans woman to complete the Triple Crown. Lyla also created her own route, the Divide to Crest route, connecting various trails and routes. She shares insights into her gear, pack weight, resupplies, and food choices while on the trail. Lyla shares her experience as a queer and trans through-hiker, discussing topics such as affordable backpacking food, handling water situations, and the importance of gender presentation in the outdoors.

  • LGBT Outdoors is incredibly happy and... JOYful... to bring you this episode of The LGBT Outdoors Podcast. Host Justin Yoder and co-host Patrick Thompson had the mountainous pleasure to chat with Grandma Joy (age 93) and her incredible grandson, Brad Ryan. Grandma Joy and Ryan traveled across the US to visit every single (63 of them!) National Park in the US National Park System over the course of eight years?

    A CNN report on their story.

    How do you go from sitting on your front porch at the age of 85 to literally hiking up mountains? How do you learn the skill of "minimizing future regret" and simply saying "Yes!" How does Grandma Joy feel about Brad being gay? Just listen.

    We are so very grateful for the time we got to chat with both Brad and Grandma Joy. We hope this episode puts a smile on your face, lifts your heart, and inspires you to get off the porch and GET OUT THERE!

    You can see all of their fantastic adventures - and follow their travel expierences on their Instagram @GrandmaJoysRoadTrip .
