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...
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,...
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...

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...
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. Heading south from Tillamook, the OCT follows Highway 101—the main artery for the Oregon Coast—for over 10 miles...

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...

Control and Confidence on Rugged Ground: Salomon X Ultra 5 GTX Hiking Shoe Review
  Descending the South Kaibab Trail into the Grand Canyon at sunset is an unforgettable experience. But its also a test of nerves, especially when navigating steep, narrow switchbacks with thousands of feet of exposure off one side. I was heading down to meet friends midway through their Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim push, and every step demanded complete focus.   Thats when the Salomon X...
EXPED Claims Ultra 6.5R Sleeping Pad Has ‘Best Weight-to-Warmth Value’: That’s True … Sort Of
  You dont truly appreciate a warm sleeping pad until youve used a bad one — or, until youve slept without one altogether. That thermal barrier between you and the cold ground makes the difference between a comfortable night under the stars and a miserable one. Thats why the progression of backpacking sleeping pads has historically trended toward lighter and warmer...
