A lot of people from Utah would like to spend weekend in Las Vegas, it is really not my type of place for my day off, but if you got a chance to tag along, make it different.Off road adventure, Toquerville Falls, many people may have seen a lot photos of this waterfall, but rarely heard of it, th...

Rocky Mountain National Park is just an hour's drive from Boulder and an hour and a half from Denver.  I spent this last summer working in Colorado and did a lot of hiking on the park's East Side. These were my favorites: 1. Flattop Mountain and Hallett Peak Distance: 9.73 milesElevation: 3...

When I moved to Tennessee, nobody warned me of the abundance of waterfalls I’d find around every corner. In fact, if someone had told me about them, I might not have believed them (many Californians find flowing waterfalls to be somewhat of a myth these days). What I quickly came to learn is that...

Three weeks before my sister turned 24 she texted me to ask if I wanted to go on a trip for her birthday. She wasn’t sure where she wanted to go but she knew she wanted to be outdoors. She suggested somewhere west, maybe the Grand Canyon? I countered with Zion National Park. The response was a si...

The first thing you need is a permit. These are expensive ($140 for 1 night) and extremely hard to come by. In fact, they go on sale every year on February 1st and this year (from what I was told) they sold out for the entire year in about 2 hours! If you were lucky enough to snag a permit, odds ...

I have worked in Yellowstone, hiked the Teton Crest Trail in Wyoming and backpacked numerous others. While those parks have a big part of my heart, Glacier owns it. There is no park, in my mind, that has a more dramatic backcountry than Glacier. Iceberg Lake, Grinnell Glacier and so many other tr...

I love to do my fair share of long, rigorous hikes, but some of my best adventures have been driving with friends or family, stopping in various places, and walking at most a mile from the car. Point Reyes is one of those family friendly, relaxing places. Go at the right time and it can be the mo...

The mountains around Salt Lake City are primarily known for hosting eight world-class ski resorts, but what’s good for the ski-bum goose is good for the hiking-booted gander. When the snow melts, the Wasatch Mountains surrounding the valley open up to hundreds of incredible hiking trails. From go...

We were headed south to the Alabama Hills to meet up with my friends Brent and Brandon. These guys live in San Diego, which is about eight hours too far south for my liking. I was really stoked that they were able to make the trip up for a couple of days! We found a super cool camp spot that was ...

Backpacker Magazine put out a request for photos of the Sonoma Coast to their photographer call list. I didn't have any extra original photos to give them. So I jumped at the opportunity to run out there and see what I could get! I brought my buddy Justin along, who is great because he's more tha...

The last hurrah, the last weekend in Washington, so of course I had to go down swinging. My friends Brian and Tim from home came up for the weekend and I decided I needed to go to the North Cascades and Diablo Lake to cap off my year. With good weather in the forecast, I was really excited to go ...

Winter can often be thought of as a time to stay indoors, drink hot chocolate, and hibernate. The opposite couldn't be more true. When you explore in the winter, not only do you get to see landscapes in an entirely different way, but you also get to enjoy a little more solitude that you typically...

If you are anything like me and my family, you are constantly on the look out for the best scenic views. Whenever we are on a road trip and see an upcoming exit for a scenic lookout, we take the time to stop and appreciate the sites. This is especially true when we begin researching our next big ...
