Oftentimes, stereotypes portray outdoor adventurers to look a certain way or have a specific background. But access to the outdoors is meant for everyone to enjoy, even if you didn’t grow up exploring all corners of the forest. Even if summiting mountains at record speeds isn’t your thing. For so many, just getting outside and having a good time is a huge accomplishment.On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk with Summer Michaud-Skog, founder of <a href="https://fatgirlshiking.com/">Fat Girls Hiking</a> movement and author of “Fat Girls Hiking: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fat-Girls-Hiking-Inclusive-Outdoors/dp/1643260391/ref=asc_df_1643260391/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=532476075552&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13623414286474826440&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9052589&hvtargid=pla-1418782670825&psc=1">An Inclusive Guide to Getting Outdoors</a> at Any Size or Ability.”Here are some highlights from this week’s show:<ul>
