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!)
Appalachian Trail Section Hike
We checked off a major bucket list item and completed our first section hike on the Appalachian Trail, and got to visit some friends along the way! Our first hiking trip in the southeastern part of the country and it was one for the books.
SHT: Lake County 7 to Silver Bay
We went back for more on the SHT last weekend, but this time we amped up the mileage and stayed out an extra night! It was definitely the hardest hiking we’ve done on the north shore to date and we learned a lot of lessons - but all worth it to hike through some of the most scenic sections of the SHT.
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!
