We love the mountains. We love hiking in the mountains. Which is why we moved to Northern Utah almost two years ago; so we could hike in the mountains to our hearts' content. Naturally, we quickly discovered the best places to lace up our boots nearby. So here are the best hiking trails in Ogden (in our humble opinion).

Or just new to pooping in it? We've all been there. But don't be nervous! There's a first time for everything, as they say! But don't worry; we're here to help you loosen up and make pooping in the woods less taboo, less scary, and–dare I say it–more fun. So find yourself a bush, prepare to leave no trace, and learn how to poop in the woods the right way (yes, there's definitely a wrong way)!

And many backpacking tents out there claim to be lightweight, but weigh up to four pounds! Not these superstars. These five ultralight tents are not only some of our favorites (we've tested them all and have been packing UL for years), but help keep your pack light so you can go farther, faster. Take a look to see which one might be right for you.

So we tested the iconic Zpacks Duplex two-person tent to see if it stands up to the other UL backpacking tent options available (and whether we'll pack it in our UL setup again and again). Here's what makes it unique and what we thought of it and its functionality.

They make uphill hikes seem less strenuous, ease pressure on your knees on the downhill, and are a beautifully multi-functional piece of gear. What's more, a good pair from a sustainably-minded brand will also be repairable. That means you can invest in a quality pair, fix them if small parts or pieces like clips or sections break, and keep using them for years to come (compared to cheap poles that break and you'll probably have to replace in a few seasons if you're an avid hiker). So if you're in the market for an ultralight pair of trekking poles you're ready to love for the foreseeable future, try one of these on for size and hike happy.
