I got a GoPro back in March for my birthday. It’s freakin’ awesome, but since I lug my DSLR with me 80% of the time, the GoPro gets very little use, which is such a bummer. Then the Polar Pro Strap Mount + ProGrip Combo came into my life, which kind of became a game changer.
A few years ago I stumbled across something called Twitter chats, specifically #hikerchat. From there, numerous adventure friend relationships spawned across the country. I’m so lucky to call Lee, the founder of the illustrious Washington Hikers & Climbers Facebook group, one of my good friends. He knows the best spots in Washington and is always happy to hike with the biggest smile on his face. This time around we headed out to Mt. Baker to check out one of his favorite spectacular spots, just off the beaten path.
I like to think I have pretty baller feet. Aside from the occasional blister and hot spot, I haven’t had any issues with them. I’ve never really used insoles for comfort or arch support; they only come in handy when my shoes are way too big and I need to fill up some extra space. When Tread Labs offered to send me a pair of insoles, I decided to take a gander.
Fall’s here. It’s time to put those flip flops away and throw on some booties to frolick in piles of leaves. At least that’s what I imagine fall to be like in places where the trees aren’t always green and the temperature isn’t always 70 degrees. I’ve gotten rid of most of my cute shoes these days due to disuse, but Ahnu Footwear saves the day with casual, yet technical options. The Harper is my new favorite piece of footwear for fall.
After a long day of hiking in Lone Peak Wilderness, my friend and I attempted to wake up early to explore elsewhere near Salt Lake City. Unfortunately we were a bit more exhausted than not and ended up sleeping through all our alarms. Instead of having a crazy hiking day, we decided to take a long drive into Diamond Fork Canyon to find Fifth Water Hot Springs.
