Six Days. 62 Kilometers. 
Zero Certainty. 

There’s a moment on a quiet river when your phone goes from a lifeline to dead weight. No bars. No buzzing. Just the dip of a paddle, the hum of insects and the occasional side-eye from a great blue heron who clearly thinks you’re in its lane.

Facing new limits, new goals, new landscapes, new challenges and New Zealand. With only a year's worth of overnight hikes in Australia under my belt, hiking 6 days was something I was even ready for? There really was only one way to tell, go after it. I knew I wanted to test myself, to see if I really could manage six days with only rations, simple shelter and the complete unknown of the trail, the weather and what I might encounter alo

For Leigh Caporal, time spent in mountain environments is organized around preparation, observation and the physical effort required to travel safely across alpine terrain. Her routine often begins early in the morning and continues through changing weather conditions, complex snowpack structures and terrain that requires careful evaluation before every descent. Skiing in these environments demands continuous attention to environmental variables such as visibility, temperatur

In the growing culture of long distance hiking, few careers begin by accident. Yet for one professional thru-hiker and digital storyteller, the path emerged gradually through curiosity, endurance sports and an instinct for documenting experiences. Today Timothy Larsen (@timothyvslarsen) shares multi-month journeys across demanding terrain, often in regions where long distance routes are still developing. His story reflects a broader shift in modern exploration, where storytel

Outdoor spots that make you want to stay longer. Sometimes a weekend just isn’t enough. From misty mountain peaks to quiet desert canyons, certain outdoor spots have a way of pulling you in — and keeping you there. These are the places where you pitch a tent, lace up your boots, and realize a single night isn’t nearly long enough. They’re not just destinations; they’re invitations to slow down, breathe, and let the outdoors set the pace. Take Yosemite National Park , where gi

I’ve always felt the most connected to the wilderness when I’m seeing it through a pair of ears. In 2025, I explored over 1,100 trail miles on horseback. From meandering down misty singletrack paths on the California coastline, to galloping through Nevada’s sagebrush sea and scrambling up slick rock in Utah, every moment on trail with my equine companions left me with a deeper sense of appreciation and understanding for the places we’ve been together. The logistics of traveli

Backpacking New Mexico If you’ve ever thought, “I want a backpacking trip but also need my dog there for moral support (and cute pics),” New Mexico is basically your dream playground. Think desert trails, red-rock canyons, and sunsets that make your Insta followers go — plus the satisfaction of seeing your pup crush the adventure right beside you. Start in Taos, where the mountains hit just right. The trails here are a mix of easy loops and moderate climbs, so whether your do

A Story of Survival in the Wild By the time the storm rolled over the ridge, the forest had gone silent. What began as a weekend hiking trip in the rugged backcountry of Glacier National Park turned into a fight for survival for 34-year-old home builder Bobby Mercer. Armed with little more than a half-charged phone, a dented water bottle and a windbreaker that wasn’t built for mountain weather, Mercer learned firsthand that the outdoors demands both respect—and resilience. I

Ah. Red dirt, soft sand and summer tans! All the things you’d expect from a PEI beach day, only this is one of several dirt and gravel bike rides through the most rural parts of the province. If you thought gravel cycling here was exclusively the Confederation Trail, think again. PEI has the most roads per square kilometer of all the provinces, and with names like Thrill Hill, Sheepskin, Balaklava and Old Bob Laird, they are as memorable as the terrain. Since our dirt rides e
