"The Crystal Lake trail in the Uintas has multiple scenic lakes to backpack into for the night ranging from .2 to 4 miles long.

Crystal Lake is the first at less than a quarter mile in, or the last in this case on the way back down."

Too Tired for Tents

All night drive + soft ground = minimal camp setup. Preston and Josh got cozy with the forest as they made their campspot in Big Sur.

At times it may have more mud than snow, but if winter camping in the South Prong Loop of Caprock Canyon State Park looks this good, then we’re all in.

Mountains Above Santa Barbara

Great camp spots can be anywhere, even in full view of civilization. Blake sent us this photo of his setup looking over Santa Barbara and we hope his lady-friend was as psyched about it as we are.
