This was one of the most logistically complicated July’s I’ve ever had because I finally got V out on more summer trips 🙌 I want to thank everyone who welcomed her and patiently helped me watch her and happily sang along to KPop songs 🙏 I’m new at raising a 4-yr old girl on outdoorsy adventures and don’t have all the answers yet. But I’m trying really hard and am beyond grateful for everyone’s support.
Anyway, here’s this month’s newsletter:
See what’s coming up this August & September.

SPOTLIGHT
Camping & Glamping in August & September
Glamping means no backpacking required. It’s 3 days/2 nights of pull up, unpack, settle in and chill. Bathrooms (and even showers!) available.
Overnight backpacking means you carry all your gear and food up a mile or 2 up a mountain, settle in, chill with fam next to the campfire, the “facilitrees” is your bathroom. Wet wipes your “shower”. Pack everything up and hike out the next day.
Both are awesome for different reasons. So, try both.
