The Evolved Path Podcast

In this pod we cover our list of the 2026 experiences we want to tackle…these are not necessarily goals…just a list of things we want to do, see or just get done. Please enjoy.

Your host Kari and Brian recap adventures of 2025 and set goals for 2026!

Kari and I recap the 50 day camping adventure and rank our Favorit locations. In the course of this adventure we traveled 8500 miles and visited places like Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mt. Rushmore, Devils Tower, Carbondale/Aspen, Utahs Mighty 5 National Parks, Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs and Santa Fe. It was an epic adventure and we recap it.

We did a number of hikes in 2025. In this episode we breakdown our top 5 hikes plus some honorable mentions. Please listen along as we sit by the campfire at the gorgeous Carbondale KOA and breakdown some of the top hikes of 2025

Kari and I rank Utah’s mighty five national parks from top to bottom. We have a couple hot takes about rankings that may surprise you. Overall , the Utah national parks are beautiful and a place that you should absolutely visit. In addition to ranking the parks, we discuss where we stayed, what we did and some of the takeaways from each of the parks. Each of the parks are very unique and worth you...

Kari and Brian unpack their 4 days in the Steamboat Colorado area including the State Park, Hahns Peak, Strawberry Park Hot Springs and the town of Steamboat. Fall with the Aspens turning is a beautiful time to be in the area.

We discuss our trip to the Blackhills, SD, Mt. Rushmore and Devils Tower.

In this episode we cover our trip to the Badlands National Park and the Buffalo Gap Grasslands. The Badlands NP is sometimes skipped, including almost by us, but thankfully we did not. Our efforts were rewarded with what potentially was the most scenic camping site around.

Your host Brian sits dockside with his father David to reflect on almost 70 yews of fishing at Mitchell’s Bay Ontario. Mitchell's Bay is not a fancy 5 star resort town. It is a fishing community, about 90 minutes east of Detroit. The bugs and mosquitoes can be bad at times, but the water, the scenery, the sunsets and most importantly the fishing can be incredible. Mitchell's Bay, on the Canadian s...
