A week in the Dolomites in Italy: Hut-to-hut Rifugio trip exploring trails and Via Ferratas near Rosengarten, Cadini di Misurina, Seceda and more!

Trekking in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp and over Cho La Pass to Gokyo Ri. From 16+ hour “Jeep” rides to unexplained illnesses, and majestic sunrises over Everest, it was an absolutely beautiful adventure to remember.

Hanging with monkeys and exploring the jungle in Ubud plus visiting the iconic beaches of Nusa Penida.

Trekking the Wilkin-Young Gillespie Circuit, Mueller Hut, Mt. Brown Hut, and more in our last two weeks in New Zealand.

Backpacking in Fiordland, Exploring waterfalls off Haast Pass, and our untimely, unrecoverable break down of the van.

The iconic Ball Pass Crossing in Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park and exploring lighthouses and beaches of the Southern Coast of New Zealand.

Hiking the Routeburn Track and exploring the huts and backcountry camping of Mount Aspiring National Park.

Exploring Milford Sound in sun and rain, day hikes in the Milford region, and hiking / photographing the renowned Milford Track.

Exploring Glaciers, Hot Springs, Backcountry Huts, and remote campsites of the West Coast of New Zealand.

Exploring surf towns, mountain huts, waterfalls, and volcanoes on the North Island of New Zealand.

Buying a van in New Zealand, a one-day van renovation, and exploring gems of beaches and freedom campsites on the North Island. Our first week and a half was full of adventure and the adventure has hardly begun!

A very Allie & Grady mini honeymoon: 5 days of mostly off-trail, 12000+ ft elevation backpacking in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado in early fall.

Chronicles from a wild, 6-day backpacking adventure in the remote depths of eastern Alaska - filled with river crossings, swampy “bogs”, alpine tundra, lush green forests, glacier travel, and challenges along the way - the first of which started before the four of us even left Denver.

As is tradition with this group - the six of us brought Mega Tent on another adventure - this time on the Teton Crest trail where it was proudly displayed at some of the prettiest camp sites within National Parks we’ve seen and kept us safe from the bugs during many rounds of Hearts, Spades, and Casino.

A two-night off-trail adventure - linking two basins to explore via a class-3 ridge line in Southern Colorado.

It’s a bit of a gamble backpacking in the Canadian Rockies in October - you never know if you’ll get snow or cool, autumn weather. We gambled a bit on this trip and it paid off big time. From backpacking with a 6-person tent to larches in peak fall colors - this was a trip to remember.

Backpacking into the bluest alpine lakes and glaciers in the Washington Cascades.

We packed up for another weekend trip with our Colorado adventure friends Kelly and Austin - just this time, not in Colorado. We experienced the best of Washington with low lying fog, inversion cloud formations, lush green forests, mossy trees, huge mountains, mosquitos, and more.

Torrential storms in Colorado led us to book a last minute flight to the Pacific Northwest. The spontaneity of this adventure - paired with the remote alpine lakes and a bear sighting on the way in made it all the more memorable!

Wyoming Rain: 2 , Allie & Grady: 0. We tried to go back for redemption in a range that left us cold, wet, and tired last time, but the rain won out again. We had a greater adventure than last time, but we’ll have to see if it leaves us wanting to come back for a third time...
