When I think of Moab I think of epic scenery and outdoor adventure. The small high desert town is flanked by two national parks, a state park, and tons of BLM land to explore. If you like getting into nature you are going to love Moab. Here are some of the best outdoor adventures to have in Moab. From hiking…
Moab is a mecca for outdoor adventurers, if you like getting outside you are going to love Moab. From hiking to mountain biking to a rad downtown with cool restaurants and shops it’s no wonder Moab has become a popular destination. I love Moab for its beautiful scenery, huge variety of things to do, and surprisingly good food. I say…
When a friend first told me she went out backcountry snowboarding I was confused. I literally thought that it was something only professional athletes did. Like you had to be sponsored by Red Bull and have a film crew or something with you. The thought that backcountry is only for the super athletes might be the biggest misconception about the…
Welcome to the third installment of Backcountry 101! Today we’re talking safety! If you haven’t yet, check out the Intro and Gear posts for some background on backcountry skiing and snowboarding. Safety is a big concern in the backcountry, as it should be, but there are plenty of ways to minimize risks, stay safe, and still have fun. This post…
I had a slow evolution of getting into backcountry and acquiring all the gear. I think that’s just fine, there’s no point in spending tons of money when you are still figuring out if you like a sport or not.

I like to think of it as hiking but then you get to ride down at the end, which is way better than just hiking down. This intro post is the first in a series of…
Winter is one of those seasons that seems to be pretty polarizing (haha, see what I did there?), some people love the cold and snow while others are just itching to escape to warmer weather. I personally am not a fan of the cold but I do love snowsports and sitting by a cozy fire when it’s snowing out. But…
Moab is a ridiculously photogenic place to the point that, it’s hard to take a bad picture among the epic red rock canyons and beautiful rock formations. And while the National Parks are great (and I definitely have them on this list), there are so many beautiful canyons, amazing natural arches, and scenery in general to explore all around Moab…
No we haven’t gotten a dog (yet), but we had a few of them in our Moab crew. Unfortunately, while the humans enjoyed the national parks the puppers got a little left out, so I found some hikes that we could take them on so we all could get a little exercise. There are tons of hikes to do outside…
When you think of Moab you probably think of outdoor adventure and extreme sports, and you’re not wrong. But the small downtown has some really wonderful street art. If you take a walk around you’ll see plenty of murals done by local artists. Many of these awesome works are a part of the Moab Arts and Recreation Center, a community…
