For the Next Generation of Adventurers

August 2, 2019December 5, 2020Backpacking and Hiking, Stories, Women in the Outdoors Roxy Dawson Leave a Comment on For the Next Generation of Adventurers

I’ve always loved following the creek as far as it would take me as a child, but my true connection with nature didn’t surface until I moved to Colorado. The aggressive crags, unexplored valleys, and thousands of miles of hiking…

July 29, 2019January 7, 2021Backpacking and Hiking, Camping, Exped, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink Pro Leave a Comment on ProView – EXPED Camp Slipper
