"My best friend and I were backpacking over Memorial Day 2015. The night before we'd camped at Snag Lake, made a detour to the Cinder Cone in the morning, and ended up at Lower Twin Lake.

It was early in the season so there were still tons of downed trees and debris everywhere but this little spot happened to fit our tent.

It was so quiet and pristine."

Gear List:

Tent - REI Half Dome 2

South Colony Lake

Done as a breezy day hike or a multi-day getaway, South Colony Lake offers an incredible spot to pitch a tent at the base of Colorado’s iconic 14k+ peaks.

Holcomb Valley

Looks like a fun time at the Holcomb Valley campground in southern California.

New Years Camping

We can’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year than at a campspot like this, high above Lauchernalp.
