In the newest development in what has been a widely publicized and highly controversial subject over the past year, President Trump has followed through on his promise to drastically reduce the amount of land protected in two of Southern Utah's national monuments with these two Presidential Procl...

I'm a little late in writing this post. A month and a half actually...We went out to the Eastern Sierras for my 25th birthday and I've pretty much been on the move ever since we got back. Nicolette, Jack, Tim and I left town at like 5am Thursday morning. The drive was pretty easy. Especially comp...

I am no expert, but for me, photographing the night sky is a challenge because the process is very different than what you would do in photographing a sunrise or sunset or maybe a mountain vista. There are much longer exposures, image stacking, iso variants, lens variants, and you need a clear sk...

Washington D.C., the nation's capital. When people think of D.C., they usually conjure up images of Capitol Hill or the White House, with political big wigs moving about the city passing laws concerning our wild places with seemingly tenuous connections to them. Thankfully, although it may not se...

Colorado is home to a pretty spectacular variety of backcountry huts, stunning mountain ski cabins, and other public and private winter getaways in the high country. The huts offer shelter from the biting winter cold as well as a base for winter adventures like backcountry skiing. Here are a few ...

Bend, Oregon is one of the most well-known adventure meccas in the West and for good reason. With world-class trails for hiking and biking, epic rivers for kayaking and river rafting, a thriving music scene and an excessive supply of delicious craft beer, who wouldn't want to visit this place? Wh...

Moab and the surrounding areas have always been my go-to weekend getaway when I need to abandon the city for just a night. It's a treasure trove of adventures and the desert has always given me that special feeling of being wild and free. Though Moab has a lot to love about it, I've always found ...

Most people visit in the spring and summer, but nothing compares to Yellowstone National Park in winter. There are a few big differences between winter and the rest of the year: 1. No crowds. If you've ever been to the park during peak season, you know it can get a little crowded at times...but d...

1. Cape Henlopen State Park This newly renovated campground is only minutes from the beach, but surrounded by maritime forest.  2. Trap Pond State Park This serene campground is located beside beautiful baldcpyress swamps, so be sure to take a kayak out to explore the water during your visit.  3....

The water is generally warmer, the days are still long, and there's something about spending a day on the lake that makes you focus on the present and enjoy playing.  We wanted to share some of our favorite products that we constantly grab when heading out on the lake.

Ahh, Fall. It's that time of year in Montana when the crisp chill of mornings reminds you that winter is on its way, but the warmth of the day feels like summer. Popular parks and destinations have more room for you to stretch out, and, at the higher elevations, leaves start to turn bright shades...

No outdoor lover can come to Georgia and not explore Jekyll Island. And a trip to Jekyll Island isn't complete without a visit to Driftwood Beach. The beach is littered with huge, gnarly branches of driftwood (so that's where they get the name?!) and sunsets over the water are unbelievable. No ma...

What comes to mind when people think of Southern California? Gorgeous weather, palm trees, the ocean, and of course, the endless sandy beaches. So what better way to enjoy what the Southern California coast has to offer than to camp on the beach? Starting from the north in Santa Barbara and headi...

When most folks think of adventure in Utah, it’s likely that their minds immediately go to two things: the epic national parks in the south, and the world-class skiing in the north. What most folks may not know is that when summer rolls around, the ski slopes turn to wildflower gardens, endless h...

“Your sense of scale is going to be way off.” Of all the words from our river guides prior to launching our rafts those were the ones that stuck in my head when we got in the water just outside Haines Junction in the Yukon. A group of 10 travelers, including myself and 3 guides from Mountain Tra...

I recently got back from a 3,000 mile long road trip that involved a little bit of backpacking, particularly my time at Havasupai. I was so surprised at the amount of people that were walking in and out with foam sleeping pads. It’s 2018, people! Upgrade your sleep gear and get the sleep that ...
