Yellowstone National Park
That's what we kept telling ourselves as we went through park. It's just incredible how diverse the geography is.  We came in through the north entrance and made our way through park and …

Johnson Ranch Trail
The Johnson Ranch trail is peaceful. Right now, in March, it's showing off just how many shades of green there are in nature. At a glance, it's just rolling grasslands spotted with a few trees, but as …

Snyder Trail
Snyder Trail is an ideal day hike. It's long enough and challenging enough that you feel like you really got away from the city, but it's not intimidating.      The trail is an out-and-back, …

How to ice-axe self arrest
I took a class on self-arresting, and for anyone who hikes mountains in the winter, you must learn how to do this!      It is ok to learn skills like this by watching a video, but …
