Lots of Juneberry shrubs in full bloom made for an extra treat!

SHT: Sugar Loaf Road to Crosby-Manitou State Park

Read about our first backpacking trip on the Superior Hiking Trail. It was a short but sweet hiking weekend - it definitely left us wanting more and got us excited about doing more backpacking this summer and fall!

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks

Read about Ashley’s long weekend girls trip to Kings Canyon & Sequoia National Parks. We got just a glimpse of these amazing parks over our four-day trip, all the more reason to make it back someday!

Namekagon Overnight Paddle

Read about our first overnight paddle on the beautiful Namekagon River in Minong, WI. It was a great way to kick off the camping season and we can’t wait to tell you all about it!
