In this episode, host Zach Urness talks about the reopening of the Whitewater Creek road and trail into the Mount Jefferson Wilderness east of Detroit.
The trail has long been one of the most popular in the Mount Jefferson area but it's been transformed by two major wildfires that have kept it closed since 2020.
The road and trail is finally open now, and there are some amazing views and adventures to be had right now — in the early season — and later in the summer as well.
