"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

Resurrection Bay

Camping bayside in Alaska is the perfect complement to an overnight sea-kayaking trip around the shale covered, forest-framed beaches of Caines Head.

St. Lawrence River

Hell of a way to ring in your 30th birthday at a campspot on the St. Lawrence – cheers!

Todos Santos

The reward for ultra-light packing means on-demand immaculate skies, like seen here at Todos Santos in Baja California.
