"I've always wanted to see a glacial lake. One day I was researching online locations of these glacial lakes besides Canada. As soon as I saw that there are a few in the Eastern Sierras, I knew I had to see it for myself.

We really didn't know what we were in for. And the locals warned us about the bear activity.

Needless to say, we made it to the First Lake and decided it would be our basecamp for the next 3 days. This photo was taken the following morning at sunrise.

The rest was just amazeballs."

Pine Forest Front Door

Does your job require regular travel? We recommend having outdoor gear on hand in case there’s a camping opportunity like this one at the border of Finland and Russia.

Whiskey In The Wind

Put an end to the workweek with a glass of whiskey and some great camping in the Wind River Mountain Range.
