"I made the 5-hour drive up to Caprock Canyons this weekend after the area received 13" of snow. Unfortunately, I waited a day too long and ended up catching only small patches of white, and copious amounts of slippery red mud. The gear was -- as you can imagine -- thrashed.
Totally worth it.
Great trails, amazing weather, and a fantastic Texas classic. Given that this was on such short notice, I hadn't planned on having any moonlight to work with. But at 35% full under crisp panhandle skies, it was just right. Bright enough to light your foreground, but not so bright that your stars are blown out.
Better still, as usual, there wasn't a soul around. Other than a few hikers on Saturday, the park was completely empty. Another reason to love winter camping."

Gear List:
Tent - North Face VE-25
Hotel Prius
Compact car camping means you can still sleep comfortably along with the gear you actually need, all while taking advantage of the great mileage to get to the best campspots around.
Denali Lights
Camping out under the Aurora Borealis up in Denali will always be one of those “holy shi*t” moments we’re all looking for in the outdoors.
Reflection Canyon
The challenging journey into Reflection Canyon tops off with unrestricted ledge tentspots deep in the Utah backcountry.
