Two years ago, Erin McKittrick and her husband trekked from their Seattle home to the "last wild frontier" of Alaska. It took them 13 months, as they met bears and rafted through storms. Conservationist Erin McKittrick joins us to talk about her northbound journey, and how she's working to preserve the wild today.Related Event
