Have you ever had an adventure that went completely wrong? Well, that was Jared's and I adventure this past Saturday. Jared and I had a Saturday off together which doesn't happen very often, and I wanted to make the most of it by exploring in the mountains. We had a few different locations i...

On May 20, 2017 a massive mudslide wiped out a large section of California's Pacific Coast Highway, cutting off travel to some of the most scenic destinations along the famous highway. Local businesses struggled as tourism was virtually completely cut off and travelers were forced to take inland ...

This past spring I drove from San Francisco to meet friends in Salt Lake City and head down to Moab for a climbing trip we'd had in the books for months. We had two primary climbing objectives for the trip: Ancient Art and Castleton Tower. After knocking out Ancient Art on our first day, we were ...

Another National Park trip was in order as this social media manager needed to stretch her legs, baby! I land in Portland and in my less than 24 hours there quickly filled up on coffee, lobster, and beer topped with sunshine and an afternoon at Portland Head Lighthouse (the oldest in Maine!). Hea...

"Gimme a kiss to build a dream onAnd my imaginationWill thrive upon that kissSweetheart, I ask no more than thisA kiss to build a dream on" We took off on the dirt road as these words came across the stereo. I turned to Jared on my left, with the biggest grin on my face and thought, "Who is this ...

I've spent hours watching climbers make their way up El Cap from the Meadow, but from thousands of feet below, you can just barely make out the climbers heading up the wall. They basically look like ants. That is unless you've got a nice pair of binoculars. Enter the Maven C.1. The general cons...

To start, I would like to share my gratitude for The Outbound Collective for giving me the opportunity to be part of their Writers Residency program in 2021.  Despite having my writing published by the collective I still find myself struggling with the imposter syndrome that comes from being a r...

This was one of those times that if we knew what we were getting into we would have thought twice. I found a twelve and a half-mile loop in an area we'd been curious about between Kachess Lake and Lake Cle Elum. I made the loop by connecting Kachess Ridge Trail, Silver Creek Tie, Domerie Peak T...

This jacket performed amazingly on a winter jaunt to Rocky Mountain National Park last weekend. The hike up to Loche Valle is a relatively short (6 miles rt) trek, but in the winter, you are going straight uphill all the way to the lake, and you need a piece that keeps you warm and also lets you ...

Last July I took one of the best road trips with a good friend of mine.  She was working in Oregon at the time so I flew out to meet her and we road tripped it along my favorite coast!  I had worked in the East Bay previously and had spent a little bit of time in Marin County, but not nearly enou...

Alright, the original desire was to do the 'Tour des Dents du Midi' in 3 days, including an attempt at 'Haute Cime' in June 2016. That was a little too ambitious as there's just been way too much snow for the past few weeks right before our start. After 2 and a half days of beautiful walks, thous...
