Looking for a short weekend getaway? This is your place. You are mistaken if you think the best part of the dairy state is in Northern Wisconsin. The Southern edge of Wisconsin has plenty to offer, including Governor Dodge State Park! The trails range anywhere from grass, crushed limestone (my ...

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to view a short film by filmmaker Greg Balkin and Dr. Len Necefer that focuses on the Gwich’in community of Fort Yukon, Alaska and their battle to preserve their homes, way of life, and the land around them. A packed house at the Denver Patagonia store watched as...

Let me begin this review by saying that I wouldn't exactly call myself a photographer, but I took photo classes in high school with film cameras and my old, super cheap DSLR and I always loved it. Earlier this year I finally decided to get back after by picking up a decent camera, the Sony a6300....

The folks at More Than Just Parks, one of my favorite film production teams, are working with the U.S. Forest Service and the nonprofit organization Salmon Valley Stewardship to promote the recreation in and conservation of our national forests with Your Forests. Your Future. In creating films, i...

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...

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...

Summer in the Peach State can be a scorcher. Even the most adventurous can be tempted to stay inside, turn up the A/C, and hide from the heat and humidity. There’s no need to avoid getting outside if you know where to go. That’s where we come in. These 5 adventures across the state come with natu...

The fog is just as much a part of life in San Francisco as unbikeable hills, third-wave coffee, and the International Orange peaks of the Golden Gate Bridge. Which is why filmmaker Simon Christen set out to make Adrift, a love letter to the fog.Released in 2013, Christen spent more than two years...

This winter has left much to be desired in terms of snowfall and we're all ready to put that behind us. On the bright side, a bum winter means an earlier spring skiing season full of blue bird days like this one at Jackson Hole. In this surfy edit from WRKSHRT, Alex Yoder flows down a slush cover...

Vernal Falls in Yosemite has finally been established! After 2 years of dreaming, multiple scouting trips, and a failed rigging attempt, Ryan Jenks, Scott Hong, Michael Melner, and I finally rigged this 420 ft line, the second longest in Yosemite, and the only waterfall line in Yosemite that is a...

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 ...

Kings Canyon National Park is often forgotten in the shadow of its more famous neighbor to the north, Yosemite National Park, but Gavin Heffernan shows us in his epic timelapse video that this place is a force to be reckoned with. Heffernan covered 1,353 square miles searching for the ideal vanta...

1. Sea Lions at the Santa Cruz Wharf The California sea lion population has tripled in the past 40 years, and the Santa Cruz Wharf, built in 1914, is a common resting spot for these gorgeous pinnipeds. Park anywhere on the wharf (first 30 minutes are free, then there's a small fee) then walk out...

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...

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...
