Powder River, Wyoming

Wyoming has plenty to offer, whether you're looking to do some hardcore backpacking or just simply drive up and get out of your car at some of the most breathtaking spots in the country. We spent five days in Wyoming, and covered a lot of ground and a mixture of activities from hiking to backpack...

It's difficult to pinpoint what exactly inspired the last-minute five hour drive to Jackson Hole on a split-second decision. Maybe it was the fact that it has been 100+ degrees the whole month of July in Salt Lake City or perhaps that we didn't have any weekend plans. More than that, I believe it...

This past week while I was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, I had the chance to experience Jackson Hole’s via ferrata. What’s a via ferrata you may ask?

Chances are, you’ve either visited the Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, Grand Teton area, or it’s on your bucket list. Guess what local Wyomingites call that region of our state? Hollywood. Yes, it’s absolutely beautiful, but also touristy and packed with resorts. Beyond the Jackson area lies an entire...

We see all sorts of amazing photographs on the internet. It's actually extremely saturated. But what you don't always see, is what happens before, during, and after getting that amazing shot. In my case, there always seems to be some crazy story leading up to a good solid shot.  For part one, I'd...

As a long time owner of a well-used 2010 F-Stop Loka pack, created by Ian Miller, I was immediately interested when he started his own company, Shimoda Designs. He developed a new series of packs designed with features that are especially useful for big winter pursuits or long summer hikes. I fin...
