We set out for a bit of backpacking in Red River Gorge within Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky not long ago and had trouble finding solid information on how to go about it. So we’ve rounded up all the information we would have liked to find in one place, including maps, to make it…
The beginning of week three of our Alaska road trip (read about week one and week two) finally saw us in Alaska! We were thrilled to have reached our destination (though the journey had been phenomenal) and to be meeting up with friends in Anchorage. There would be so much to explore near the city,…
One of us recently got the opportunity to spend an unplanned week in Guatemala (OK, it was me). I realized 24 hours before it was time to leave for the airport that I was suddenly available to go, so I did. A couple of friends had been planning to go for a couple of months…
When I booked a last-minute ticket to Guatemala on a whim with less than 24 hours before departing for the airport, I felt a lot of things: anxiety, excitement, guilt…For leaving Josh at home to work while I went galavanting, of course.

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…
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.
