Join the #365Mile Challenge for 2018!

I’ve discovered in the last 4 months that significant milestones bring about the opportunity for change. There were many things that we’d wait and “start in Hawaii” and then “when we got back to Idaho”. Somehow knowing we had that change of location coming up gave us the motivation to start new goals, ideas, or…

Ka’ena Point Hike & Bird Sanctuary – Oahu

We’ve desperately been missing hiking (well, at least Sam and I are) so we decided to drive to the dry side of the island and check out the Ka’ena Point Trail. You can hike two different ways to the point (from the south or Farrington Hwy) and while I’ve heard the south trail is preferable…

9 Family Friendly, Adventure Stops Along the Oregon Coast {Plus a Few Bonus Activities}

Summary & Review of REI’s Powder Mountain Outessa Summit

We turned up the winding canyon road and our excitement mounted with every foot of elevation we climbed. We turned off the main rode and drove the last few hundred feet up a dirt road to the very top of Powder Mountain Ski Resort. We crested the final hill and were in awe of the view that…

  • Way to rally after a crummy night’s sleep – that takes some moxie! As does willingly going to a foam-rolling class. Love this review & the summit looks like fun! Thanks for posting!ReplyCancel

  • Thanks for posting the review! I love a photo heavy post! It looks like you had an awesome time even though the first night was a bit rough. How cold did it get that first night? What type sleeping bag did you use and do you think you’ll go again? I hope they do it next year. I’m game on flying across country for some fun like this!ReplyCancel

      You know, my phone said it was only 40 or so, and I have a 32 degree down bag but that wind chill was unreal. They are making modifications for next year and absolutely I’m planning on going!ReplyCancel
