From Sea to Source: Misadventures & Camping on the Hudson River
  In August of 2019, my friend Kirk and I fulfilled a childhood dream, paddling the Hudson River from source to sea. Growing up, my friends and I would explore my small hometown and go as far as we could get before making it home for dinner. We would go paddling, swimming, cliff jumping, hiking and occasionally jump trains when they...
Himalayas: Preparing for and Hiking at High Altitude

This glacier is one of the main sources of the Ganges River, and one of the largest in the Himalaya. However, it is rapidly receding. We scramble over rock and rubble where ice once stretched to...
Glacier Peak—Skiing Washington’s Most Remote Volcano
  Words Photos by William Woodward      Volcano skiing is a well-honored pastime in Washington. While our most famous volcanoes live in plain sight, like Mt. Rainier and Mt. 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.

Packrafting the Flathead River in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness
  Packrafting opened up a world of adventure for me. Being from the desert, the idea of hauling a raft deep into the wilderness was fairly novel. 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...
Mountain Running in the Sierra Nevada

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...

Familiar Design With Handmade, Modular Twist: QuikrStuff Mach 2 Bike Rack Review
  My old bike rack was starting to get pretty beat up before someone backed their truck into it and drove off. I still used it for another year after that (probably at great liability), and it worked. But it wasnt ideal. It was bent askew. It wobbled no matter how much I tightened it in the hitch; it creaked and...
Duluth’s Industry of Outdoors: The Promise and Problems of Transforming a Boom Town

Inside, I could hear happy hour sounds: people laughing, conversations, and exclamations over the appetizers. I soaked...
