While Josh and I have been to all five before, including on road trips, backpacking trips, bikepacking trips, you name it, but this was the first time my parents had ever been to any of them. So they flew over, we picked them up at Salt Lake City International Airport, and we hit the road for a 10-day road trip for the ages. Want to plan your own Utah national parks road trip? Here's our route and recommendations.

Especially if you plan to get cozy with a camp buddy 😉. Heck, even if you're on your own and you just love to sprawl when you sleep, a double sleeping bag and mattress are a stellar addition to your car camping setup.

In fact, all summer long you'll rarely, if ever, find us playing outside in anything else. We don't like clingy fabric on our skin (which means breathable sun shirts only on our top half), prefer to feel the breeze on our skin, and don't mind applying a little sunscreen for the easy-breezy feeling shorts provide on the trail. But a perfect pair can be hard to find, especially if you want a more sustainable pair from a brand that puts Earth first. Fortunately, we put several pairs to the test to help you find the ideal pair for you. Here are 5 of the best sustainable hiking shorts for women we've found.

Often, pants. Like when it's cold or trails are covered in brush that threatens to tear up your legs or when ticks abound. We don't have to tell you why pants are often necessary when hitting the trail. But the perfect pair of hiking pants can be hard to find. So we put several pairs to the test (which are all PFAS-free) to see which sustainable hiking pants for women are the perfect combination of technical performance, trail style, and functionality.

There are trails galore, a well-known ski resort, and a poppin' small town filled with locally-owned shops and restaurants. It's a destination renowned for mountain biking and wildflowers in the summer (including an annual wildflower festival) and world-renowned ski resorts in the winter. But if you're not a downhill skier, you may be left looking for other things to do in Crested Butte in winter besides ski. We got you. Here are some other ways to stay active and play outside when there's snow on the ground.

(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.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, don't remind us...) 'Tis the season of consumerism! Personally, this time of year isn't our favorite, and we could do without all the obsessive shopping and buying crap just because you think you have to (you totally don't), but there is something to be said about a thoughtful, useful gift passed along to someone you love that shows them how much they mean to you and that you know them well enough to gift them something they'll love. But that's easier said than done! Especially if the people you love are outdoorsy (we tend to be fairly particular about our gear). So if you need some ides to get you started, here are 10 of the best gifts for outdoorsy folks this year. And yes, we've tested all of them and they get the Terradrift stamp of approval. Just shop responsibly, and spend some time outdoors with friends and loved ones this season.
