Medicine Bow National Forest - Snowy Range
What started out as a back-up plan when the Boundary Waters closed due to wildfires turned into one of our favorite trips of all time! We spent six days backpacking in the wilderness of the Snowy Range Mountains in Medicine Bow National Forest with great friends (and pups!)
SHT: Britton Peak to Caribou Trail
We teamed up with Liz, Ryan, and Tino to celebrate Crimmy’s second birthday on the SHT! It was a scorcher, but the route was packed with gorgeous views, campsites all to ourselves, and lots of swimming opportunities.
Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park
We spent Labor Day weekend exploring a new place and had a great time in the “Porkies” doing some backpacking. We had great campsites on not one, but two iconic lakes, hiked right along Lake Superior’s south shore, and enjoyed beautiful views along the way.
BWCAW 2020
We went back out to the boundary waters for the second year in a row, this time in the Ely area and with Al and Lindsey along for the adventure! It was a great time with great friends, and we can’t wait to go back again next year.
Timber-Frear Canoe Route
We decided to try something a little different than our usual north shore backpacking weekend, and opted for this loop paddle route!
