More than 33 miles over 2 days backpacking the Pemi Loop through some of the most rugged and incredible terrain in the White Mountains.
Our Rim to River backpacking overnight in the Grand Canyon. 140 °F in the sun, hiking at 3am under the Milky Way, almost a mile of vertical ascent, and one of the most memorable trips of our lives.
