Then you're ready for bikepacking White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park.

(By which I mean it's the holiday season; time to stuff some stockings...) But Outdoorsy folks can be hard to shop for, especially because we definitely don't need ANOTHER spork or pocket-sized multi-tool (please don't get us another spork...). Fortunately, being avid outdoorists ourselves, we know a little something about what hikers, campers, cyclists and kayakers WOULD love to find in a stocking hung by the chimney with care, so we made this handy list of outdoor stocking stuffers for outdoor enthusiasts. You're bound to find something they'll love.

We're seriously all about it. But for those of you who aren't quite fully committed to the whole barefoot shoe experience, but still want shoes that emphasize healthy posture and plenty of space for your toes to spread, zero drop wide toe box shoes are just the thing. Here are 7 of our favorite more sustainable options.

And we've spent enough time exploring Europe now to definitely have our favorite spots for outdoor adventure. So if you're headed to (or located in) mainland Europe, definitely check out these routes, which might just be some of the best hiking trails in Europe (they're at least some of our faves so far).

And as such, we've explored nearly every corner of the wide and wonderful landscape known as the U.S. Along the way, we've found some magical trails (including paddle trails) from coast to coast (including in Hawaii and Alaska). Naturally, there are millions of trails around this massive country, and we obviously haven't hiked even close to all of them. We haven't even hiked in every state (though we've been to almost every state)! But of the places we have laced up our vegan hiking boots, these are some of our favorite hikes in the USA!

We've got just the thing: ride your bike around the Rim Road at Crater Lake National Park! "That's crazy!" you say? "It's too hilly and there are cars!" you say? Well, no, it's totally not crazy! And yes, it's hilly, but if you plan strategically and get to Crater Lake in early September, you absolutely can ride (almost) the entire rim road with no cars at all! It's the totally FREE Ride the Rim event and it. was. baller.

There's mountain biking, hiking around mountains, backpacking, kayaking, and so much more. And the Oregon Coast is no exception. Between sandy beaches, whale watching, sandboarding, biking and hiking, you'll never run out of things to do. But if you want to avoid the crowds, follow this coastal Oregon road trip itinerary for fewer people and plenty of quality outdoor time, epic views, and moody Pacific Northwest weather.

Like, a lot. So it takes quite a bit to impress us these days. But when we got ahold of one of the new Peak Design Outdoor Bags and Outdoor Slings that just launched on Kickstarter this month, to say we were impressed might have been a bit of an understatement. Check out what we thought of them and whether we think you should back them.

I don't know about you, but here in Northern Utah we're already experiencing a break in the heat, refreshingly cool evenings, and the promise that changing leaves will be here before we know it! But fall also means it's time to start rotating the apparel and gear closet! Layers are in, tank tops are out, it's time to swap kayak trips for cool-weather campouts, and (gasp) time to start thinking about holiday travel. So we rounded up some of our favorite sustainable outdoor gear and apparel for fall so you can kick off the season right and well-prepared for all the outdoor adventures to come.

Sure, I love to move fast and summit peaks as much as the next outdoor lover, but for years immersing myself in nature has been as much about the peace and calm I find there, enjoying the majestic scenery, and taking time to bear witness to the power of nature. But when I got to go to Alberta, Canada recently and spend time in the Rockies around Banff and Jasper (the tailbone of Turtle Island–a.k.a. North America), the wonder I have always felt in the outdoors was amplified each time I set out to explore with the region's Indigenous guides. Here are 5 Indigenous tours I heartily recommend in the area.
