On this episode of Thrive for the COS, I chat with Bruce McClintock. He is the Chief Exploration Officer at Hike for Life, a Colorado Springs based social impact business focused on providing carefully curated guided hikes in the mountains of central Colorado.

We talk about: - the 5 Fundamentals of a safe hiking experience- stories about life threatening experiences in the mountains of Colorado- unique history of one of Colorado Springs "hidden gems"- how to experience the health benefits of time spent outdoors
