Steffan Tubbs Guest Hosts The Peter Boyles Show -MAY 30, 2026 - Hr. 3:

Steffan Tubbs sits down with retired law enforcement professional, Marine veteran, and adventurer Craig Barnes to discuss the trip of a lifetime: a trek through the Himalayas to the shadow of Mount Everest. What began as a childhood fascination with mountains after climbing Longs Peak at age 12 eventually became a decades-long dream to see Everest up close.

Craig shares the incredible story of traveling to Nepal, navigating changing global travel routes, flying into one of the world's most challenging mountain airports, trekking through remote villages, relying on Sherpa guides, and reaching elevations higher than nearly every mountain in North America.

Along the way, Craig describes the breathtaking scenery, the challenges of altitude, the reality of life on the Everest trail, and the moments that made the journey unforgettable.

From Kathmandu to the Khumbu region, this conversation offers a rare firsthand look at one of the most iconic adventures on Earth.
