Outdoor Adventure

THE BEST ADVENTURES DON’T ALWAYS COME WITH A GUIDE — THEY COME WITH A PLAN (AND SNACKS).
Most of the outdoor trips we take — whether it’s a family backpacking trek, a solo soul-filling hike, or a paddle down a canyon river — start with one thing: me, trying to figure it all out. If you’re the trip planner in your group, this page is for you.

Here you’ll find our favorite DIY-friendly outdoor adventures:

  • Multi-day backpacking trips (some with kids)
  • Scenic day hikes across Canada, Iceland, Hawaii, and beyond
  • Quiet, self-guided paddling routes
    All paired with gear lists, trip planning tips, and the kind of grounded, real-world info that makes the research less stressful.

Choose your adventure below — and let’s plan something unforgettable.
