LATEST HIKING ADVENTURES
Yosemite’s Eagle Peak is a classic backpacking trip and a must-do for first time visitors
The Tour du Mont Blanc is one of the most epic backpacking trips I have ever been on. With a great hut system and passing through small towns, the TMB is also a perfect option for luxury backpacking.
Havasupai in October offers crisp air, cold stream crossings, and comfortable days!
During our week long trip to Alaska, I was most excited for the Kesugi Ridge Trail in Denali State Park. This 27.5 mile through hike is a relaxing overnight backpacking trip. If you're lucky and get a clear day, you can see Mount McKinley (Denali) without the hassle of Denali National Park's bus system.
The Lost Coast is a 53-mile route along Northern California’s rugged coast untouched by Highway 1. The hike is split into two sections, one from Mattel River to Shelter Cove, and the other from Hidden Valley to Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. We set out for the 25 mile northern section which hugs the coastline for most of the way. Most people will travel North to South to keep the wind at their backs.
Iceland's Laugavegur Trail is a grueling 49 mile trail through dramatic landscapes and rushing rivers. Prepared hikers are rewarded with beautiful views of rhyolite canyons, hot springs, and black sand.
