Utah’s Mighty Five
We took on Utah’s Mighty Five for spring break this year - it was a whirlwind trip through Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, Canyonlands, and Bryce Canyon National Parks! Each park was amazing and unique in its own way, and we can’t wait to make it back again someday.
Big Bend National Park
We took a break from cold, snowy Minnesota and traveled to Texas for a long weekend in Big Bend National Park! It was such a unique park and unlike any place we have ever been, and we’re so excited to tell you all about it.
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!
SHT: Dyer’s Creek to Britton Peak Flip-Flop Hike
Ashley took off for a girls backpacking trip on the SHT with Laura over the weekend - an adventure filled with a late-night hike in, (a few) wrong turns, some pesky bugs, and amazing views of Lake Superior, Temperance and Cross Rivers, and some great inland overlooks!
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!
