Cascade River State Park

We celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary with a long weekend full of camping at Cascade River State Park and hiking around the Grand Marais and Grand Portage areas. Car camping was a luxurious break from all the backpacking we’ve been doing, and it was nice to kick back at the campsite with hearty food and frosty beverages after hiking!

One last look back

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness

Our first ever trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW)! We had a bit of a bumpy start with some rough water, but things turned the corner and it was a great time with great friends. We can’t wait to tell you all about it!

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!
