Sunset on Mt. Arab, Adirondacks NY From (roughly) the early to late 1900’s, forest fire observers watched over many areas of the Northeast United States from towers perched on the top of peaks around the region.  While in most places the observers are no longer scanning the landscape looking for signs of fires, some of the towers remain and have been preserved/restored for the enjoyment of the public.  From long treks to half mile meanders, fire tower hikes offer a little something for everyone to enjoy. With the right planning, they can be a perfect sunrise/sunset destination, and s ..read more

Destination races have long been a way to couple vacations with a bit of competition.  Traveling to beautiful locales to compete in a running (or biking, or swimming … or whatever stokes your fire)  race is a great way to experience a new place and meet new people.  The logistics of traveling to a race can sometimes be tricky;  flights, rental car, hotels, food, etc. – it can get expensive and difficult pretty quickly.  But what if you could combine your lodging and your car rental?  And what if you didn’t have to worry about finding a restaurant with edible food ..read more

6 Planning Tips for Off-Season East Coast Camping
Adventure Sneaker
by Carly - Adventure Sneaker

Off-Season camping is a wonderful experience.  The crowds have thinned and access to many campgrounds, trails, and parks is much easier.  We have been the only campers in a National Park campground on a weeknight in December!  The downside to the decreased volume of visitors in many areas is a decrease in demand for sites;  this leads to many camping areas closing completely, or partial closures of camping areas to save funds during the less busy times of year.  The snow and ice of winter lead to road closures that make some facilities close simply because they are in ..read more

Early Spring views from the Blue Ridge Parkway One of my favorite East Coast destinations has to be, without a doubt – Asheville, North Carolina.  It’s a quirky, bike-centric town in the mountains of western North Carolina with a young outdoorsy vibe, vibrant arts community, and phenomenal craft beer scene.  The surrounding area is a hiker’s and mountain biker’s dream, with hundreds of miles of state and national forest trails to explore.  Asheville is an ideal stop on any Eastern US road trip!
