In the Northeast, the few weeks between fall & winter is dubbed “stick season”. For me, this period was always marked by (not so) patiently waiting for snow to blanket the ground & for ski season to begin. Now, living in Utah, the anticipation that comes with this time of year remains t...

You could easily live in Salt Lake City for decades and only scratch the surface of all the amazing hikes that are right in your own backyard. With a wide range or options, there's something for everyone and you’re never too far from a trailhead. Whether you’re a long-time local, new to town, or ...

Some of these spots are easy access, just off the side of the road and others require a hike to get up where the flowers are. Although I will share my favorite spots that consistently have large fields of flowers, almost any trail you take in July and August (at least half way up the canyons) wil...

The mountains around Salt Lake City are primarily known for hosting eight world-class ski resorts, but what’s good for the ski-bum goose is good for the hiking-booted gander. When the snow melts, the Wasatch Mountains surrounding the valley open up to hundreds of incredible hiking trails. From go...

There aren’t very many things that top getting out on the trail and breathing in the fresh crisp air of autumn. Fewer crowds, cooler temps, fall colors, and all with just enough sunlight to be able to head out after work. It’s like this season was God’s gift to hikers. How lucky are we who live i...

However, with all that snow, things can get a little dicey. Avalanches are a real concern when traveling in the b...

Salt Lake City's proximity to amazing outdoor recreation almost eliminates the need to own a tent. Then again, there’s something pure and recalibrating about rolling out a mat and sleeping on the lumpy ground. And with so many amazing camping spots hiding around the Salt Lake Valley, the decision...

The Wasatch Mountains provide all adventurers in Salt Lake City with immediate access to hundreds of trails leading to amazing destinations. With such close proximity to the city, it's to be expected that the trailheads might be a bit packed on the weekends, but the vast majority of hikers in the...

Before moving to the Salt Lake area, I had only ever driven by The Great Salt Lake on my way to California. I really didn't know anything about it, and never bothered to explore it. The first time I actually stopped to walk out to the shoreline, I was pretty turned off because of the smell. I thi...
