I dreamed of backpacking on the Appalachian Trail since the 1960s. My first AT hike came in 2016 when I completed the Roan Highlands section.

I dreamed of backpacking on the Appalachian Trail since the 1960s. My first AT hike came in 2016 when I completed the Roan Highlands section.
My first hike of the 2019 season was to Savage Gulf State Natural Area in Tennessee. It was a great hike. I’ll always remember the bridges!
Seagull Outfitters is at the end of the road on Minnesota’s Gunflint Trail. It is the perfect location to base any Boundary Waters trip from.
If you ever plan to do a hike in the North Fork area of Glacier National Park, or simply visit, Polebridge Mercantile is a mandatory stop.
I’ve tried many pants during my backpacking career. When I found the Railriders VersaTac Ultralight pants I knew they were the perfect pants.
The 2015 Sierra Nevada hike was a confidence test in my early days of western hikes. In a ‘trail provides’ moment I met a cowboy on the PCT.
It took my brother Chip 22 years, but Bandon Dunes was the sequel to our 1988 Scotland trip. It was a great trip but it didn’t go as planned.
For any golfer a chance to play an iconic Scotland course is on their bucket list. During a magic week in 1988 I played 8 Scottish courses.
For our annual Colorado backpacking trip in 2016, Christian and I traveled to the Holy Cross Wilderness. It was a scenic, high altitude hike.
I came upon Madison Buffalo Jump State Park on my way home from Glacier NP. Its in an area rich in history, and a great road trip stop..
Rain gear is something I rarely use but always carry. When needed it can save your life. Zpacks Vertice rain gear is the best I’ve ever used.
I have a 58 year history eating at Pizza Sam in Alma, Michigan. They make the best New York-style, thin crust pizza I’ve ever eaten.
