From Plane to Forest: Ousel Falls

Montana Memories After checking into our hotel, we couldn’t wait to get out into the Montana air. Instead of settling in, we headed straight to the trailhead- ready to stretch our legs and soak in the wilderness. It's so grounding stepping from the buzz of travel into the stillness of the forest.

Red Dirt Falls – A Fiery Slice of Kauai

Kauai Kidventures We rolled up to Red Dirt Falls in late October and the waterfall was more whisper than roar. Still, what it lacked in flowing water, it more than made up for in character. Instead of a cascading stream, we got sweeping views of rust-red terrain carved by time and rain. The contrast between the bright,… Continue reading Red Dirt Falls – A Fiery Slice of Kauai

Stonewall Peak: Steady Climb, Big Payoff

Stonewall Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park doesn’t waste time easing you in, it starts with an incline right from the trailhead and never really lets up. Thankfully, it’s a steady uphill rather than a steep grind, which makes it perfect for rucking.

Snoqualmie Falls: A Rock-Hopping, Stick-Finding, Waterfall-Watching Kind of Day

Washington Wanders From the moment we stepped onto the trail, the boys were in full explorer mode.

The kind that magically… Continue reading Snoqualmie Falls: A Rock-Hopping, Stick-Finding, Waterfall-Watching Kind of Day
