You can compete against local legends, your peers, or yourself if that’s more your style.
They say a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. How many steps a day do you take walking to the kitchen? How many steps do you take walking to the store? How many steps do you take when you’re hiking your local trail?
We reached out to our Oboz Ambassadors to hear all about the adventures that they loved, so far this year. From the peaks of Glacier to the Everglades of Florida, they've been all across the country (and world!) making the most of hiking season. Hopefully their trail tales provide some inspiration for your next trek. Read on to hear all about their trips.
While I have hiked portions of the trail, I had no idea the unique and heartwarming history of how the TRT came to be. I spent hours in the files of the Tahoe Rim Trail Association’s offices at Stateline, Nevada. What I pieced together is not only a charming history, but a model for modern outdoor trail management. At least that was what I wrote in my paper.
Last night felt like I had stepped into the pages of a dream I’d replayed in my head for years. I had often imagined what it would be like to photograph the northern lights at some of Glacier’s most iconic spots. The challenge? Most of these views face east or west—not ideal for capturing the Aurora unless there was a solar storm, strong enough to make it appear overhead. I didn’t want to get my hopes up so I kept my expectations low; but as it turned out, I was in for the night of a lifetime.
As I stepped off the tarmac, I knew I was in for a treat. Dense, luscious rainforests. Craggy shorelines. Windy high deserts. Towering mountains. Oregon is a haven of ever-changing landscapes, making it a perfect place for just about any adventure. With less than a week to explore, I didn’t waste any time getting out on the trail to see all that Oregon had to offer. And believe me, I will definitely be back for more in the future. In celebration of April being Earth Month, I wanted to highlight some of the ways I make sure my travels are mindful and sustainable:
