These three just conquered that rock and they want everyone to know it. 😂🧢

August is peak "the kids actually want to be outside" season and we are here for it. Sunglasses on, boots laced up, attitude fully activated. 😎

The heat is real this month, so shift your runs to early morning or evening whenever possible. 🌅

Your body loses significantly more fluid in summer temps, which means your hydration vest isn't optional right now, it's essential. How do you adjust your runs for August heat? 🥵

August family hikes hit different when the scenery looks like this. 🏜️

Red rock country, wide open skies, and kids who are actually keeping up. Before summer break wraps up, this is your reminder to get one more big family trail day in.

Stop in and let us help you make sure everyone is geared up.🌵

The face you make when you realize rappelling is the most fun you've had all year. 😂🧗

Summer is prime time for getting on the rock and there's nothing quite like the combo of red sandstone and big air to remind you why you got into climbing in the first place. 🙌

The mist from a July waterfall is basically nature's air conditioning. 💦😄

Waterfall hikes are one of the most searched trail types all summer long for good reason. They're stunning, refreshing, and the sense of scale when you're standing next to one never gets old.

A campfire in July hits different when the nights are warm, the trees are full, and there's nowhere you have to be. 🔥

Summer camping season is in full swing and the best campsites fill up fast. If you're still missing a piece of your setup, stop in and let us help you get everything you need before your next trip. 🏕️

Did you know that May through July is peak bird migration and breeding season in North America? 🐦🔭

That means right now is one of the best times of year to spot species you won't see any other time. A good pair of binoculars makes all the difference between catching the moment and missing it entirely. 👀

July bucket list idea: pack dry bags, grab a kayak, and go somewhere that doesn't have cell service. 🛶🏔️

The combination of glassy water and snow-capped peaks in summer is genuinely unbeatable. Pro tip: dry bags aren't just for rain, they protect your gear from splashing and accidental tips too. 🙌

Sleeping bag temperature ratings can be confusing and July is when it actually matters. 🏕️

A bag rated to 30°F sounds like overkill for summer until you're camped above 10,000 feet and temps drop fast overnight. The general rule: go 10 degrees lower than the coldest temp you expect. ❄️

Early mornings on the water in July are something else entirely. 🌅

The reel is loaded, the light is perfect, and everything else can wait. Whether you're chasing bass, walleye, or just some peace and quiet, this is your sign to get out on the water this week.
