Paula Murray didn’t start backpacking until she was nearly 60 years old, and now she can’t get enough.

Paula lives in the Wasatch Mountain Range in northern Utah and has been a professional machine quilter for 31 years. She and her husband, Tom, have six children and 12 grandchildren. Paula’s story is an inspiring example of living an adventurous life no matter your age.

Paula and Angie talked about:

  • Her first backpacking trip through the Paria Canyon and how it “blew open a door”

  • Tips for women who want to solo backpack

  • Menopause and relearning what her body was capable of

  • The beauty and freedom that comes with aging

  • How being self-employed helps her prioritize adventure

  • Tips for raising kids who love the outdoors from day one

  • Training for the rest of life, not for one event
