In our finale installment of A Long Time Coming, we fly over to the fabled Isle Royale National Park to hike across the island, of which we've been wanting to see for as long as we can remember.

We move yet further east and into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to explore Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore! We hike a 42 miles through Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore. However, we add a little twist by packrafting a few sections of the trail to take full advantage of the beautiful and calm waters of Lake Superior!

We transition from the hot plains of South Dakota up to the US and Canadian Border to explore the extensive waterway of Voyageurs National Park by canoe for a few days of camping on a remote island. As well as a stop in Apostle Islands National Lake Shore to check out the otherworldly rock formations that make the area famous!

In our second installment of A Long Time Coming, we venture in Badlands National Park and cross paths with our first road trip that lead to our current life on the road. Badlands National Park has always had a special place in our hearts, and we are curious if it was everything we remembered it being.

In our second installment of A Long Time Coming, we drop into South Dakota to explore the rugged Black Hills, Wind Cave National Park and Custer State Park. This part of South Dakota often goes overlooked but is home to a dense collection of incredible wild spaces just waiting to be explored.

This is the start of our grand adventure into the Northern Midwest. We make an unexpected stop in Makoshika State Park before making our way into Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

We’ve been a little quiet over here, but we’ve been hard at work bringing to life a new series that we’re so excited to share with you all!

Owen and I have both been feeling a visit was long overdue. However this time, we wanted to see the park for the first time in the winter under a blanket of snow. In order to hike in the snow, we needed to pick up a little extra gear. We hatched the idea to rent some snowshoes from REI, so we could hike in the snow out to see the Giant Sequoia trees of the Mariposa Grove.

After leaving Canwell Glacier is was time to start making our way out of Alaska and towards the lower 48. Sadly, we had a few pressing “hard dates” on our calendar that forced us to compress our timeline to get back to the US. However we made stop in Fairbanks to have some much needed time with our family!

Thanks to the scouting mission, we knew right where we needed to go to get to the pool we’d decided on the day before. As Owen was changing out of his clothes, a tour group saw what we were doing and came over to watch.

After our gracier tour in Whittier, we knew the time had come to make our way off the Kenai Peninsula for the last time. Having spent a month in the area, we’d fully fallen in love with this part of Alaska.

In this blog post we do a deep dive into the logistics for planning a visit to Katmai National Park and Preserve. The park isn’t accessible by road thus it takes a little extra planning and strategy to get to.

After staying with my brother for 16 days we were back on the move and ready to head to our next destination in Denali National Park!

MAK here! Owen and I have been a little quiet on our end working on a bunch of things such as our new video series and we wanted to bring you all up to speed on everything to look forward to!

Hello everyone! MAK here! It’s hard to believe that this is the last episode of our our mini series “Wish You Were Here”! Enjoy the episode!

I hope that everyone has had a great week! We’re back with episode 2 of 3 in our mini series! Here is the episode, enjoy!

Our friends over at Four Wheel Campers asked if we’d be interested taking a test trip in two of their demo rigs. Not ones to pass up such a fun sounding opportunity we immediately turned to our friends Chase and Aimee of Tight Loops and asked if they’d be interest in trading in their Vanagon for two weeks to travel in a FWC!

As we crept ever closer to the US and Canadian border we found ourselves in the coastal rainforest of Washington. Those of you who have been following us for at least the last year, you know that we have fully become desert dwellers. The moss-draped trees felt completely foreign to us, but we were so hungry to dive deep into this incredible new terrain.

We started this episode with a bang. We were waiting for enough snow to melt off of Teewinot so we could climb it. This mountain is why we were going in and out of Jackson countless times over the summer. For those who are not familiar Teewinot is the peak that stands just to the right of the Grand when viewing the Tetons from Jackson. When we arrived after the Winds we were warmed up and ready and so was the mountain!
