TAKE A HIKE

Hiking is one of my favorite outdoor activities, and I’ve been lucky enough to summit mountains all around the world! If you’re looking for some trail inspiration in Alaska, check out these lists of top hikes around the state.

BUILD YOUR SKILLS

Living a life outdoors should feel easy, but sometimes it takes a little bit of practice. Start to build the skills and confidence you need so nothing can hold you back from getting outside.

GET YOUR GEAR

Travel and outdoor gear can become expensive, especially if you buy the wrong items. Whether you’re packing for a multi-day backpacking trip or a trip abroad, these articles will help you choose the gear that you actually need.

SHOP LOGBOOKS

I created local hiking challenges to encourage hikers to explore new trails and areas around Alaska. You can track your progress with a logbook, which includes a checklist of the 100 hikes that you can check off as you complete them.
