Ouray, Colorado may be small, but it is mighty. Possibly because it’s very literally nestled between several mountains, seemingly closing it off to anything and everything that doesn’t have to do with stellar outdoor adventure. And there’s plenty of adventure to be had in Ouray. So grab your hiking boots, your ice ax, or your…
We have wanted to go backpacking in Caprock Canyons State Park ever since we moved to Texas. Several people had suggested it as a stunning destination for a desert backpacking adventure and I was excited to explore the rugged landscape of North Texas. However, we could have picked a better month to go hiking in…
I hate shopping for new hiking boots and shoes. I don’t know if my feet are weird or I’m too cheap or too picky, (it’s likely a combination of all of the above) but add in the necessity that my hiking boots contain no animal products, and finding footwear that fits the bill is a veritable nightmare. Fortunately, we’ve done some of the legwork for you and found 20+ of the best vegan hiking boots and shoes so you can wander on confidently and cruelty-free. You’re welcome.
We’ve all been there: the flight is booked, the Couchsurfing host has confirmed, the itinerary is set, and all that’s left to do is pack. But packing is stressful. It stresses me out, anyway. Don’t get me wrong, I love packing, but I don’t get so anxious about any other part of a trip than…
Ah, Canyonlands. So many units to choose from (three, actually), so many day hikes available. We set out on one just two days after hiking rim to rim across the Grand Canyon to see what the park had to offer. We actually planned to spend two days exploring, but that didn’t quite happen…more on that…
We’ve backpacked in Grand Canyon National Park before. We hiked down the North Kaibab Trail and up the Bright Angel Trail. It was glorious. But ever since that first trek, we’ve had visions dancing in our heads of backpacking rim to rim at Grand Canyon National Park. Because: a.) doesn’t rim-to-rim just sound epic and…
Headed into the great outdoors for some quality time with nature? Gonna sleep under the stars and get sweaty and dirty and eat dinner with a spork while comfortably situated on a fallen log? Yeah, you are. Just don’t forget to pack the essentials when you head into the wilderness. Don’t worry; we’ve got you…
At Terradrift, we like backpacking. Both kinds of backpacking. But especially when we get to escape to the wilderness and rough it for a weekend. There’s nothing like carrying everything you need to survive on your back and sleeping in a tent with no electricity to make you feel strong and alive and loving life!…
It’s got desert, it’s got mountains, it’s got one big ol’ winding river: it’s Big Bend National Park. If you’re in Texas and looking for a desert hiking experience in a national park, get thee to the Bend.
