Baker, Glacier Peak often remains hidden but for a few high points on public roads. The fifth volcano highest in the state, Glacier is second only to Mt. Rainier in climbing prominence,...

How to Hike the Oregon Coast Trail
  Words and Photos by Laura Lancaster      “I knew you were coming.”   I had been dreading this stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran between Manzanita and Tillamook since we started weekend thru-hiking (or section-hiking) it in chunks back in 2017.

Mountain Running in the Sierra Nevada
  One of the best parts of mountain running is when you get to walk. I’m not calling mountain running a gentle stroll, but generally, you’re not full-on, maxed-out sprinting hour after hour up an enormous rock pile. The running part is great, but the main draw is that rock pile and the ones around it. Just being, and moving, in...
Packrafting the Flathead River in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness

But when photographer Jacob Moon and his wife Natasha invited me to go packrafting on the South Fork of the Flathead, one of the world’s premier rivers, I couldn’t say no.      Photo by...

For Tall Backpackers Who Go Ultralight: Six Moons Designs Skyscape Trekker Tent Review
