I was uncertain whether a camping trip in the winter in Iceland would really be a good idea or not, but it turned out to be such a good time. Here’s everything you need to know about doing […] The post How to Take an Icelandic Winter Roadtrip in a Campervan appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

Where I left off with my Iceland blog, Gareth and I had just departed Northern Iceland and were headed into the West Fjords. This post will be about the end of our winter road trip, the West Fjords and Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It’s been almost five months since I got back from Iceland. I’ve been quite […] The post Iceland Winter Road Trip: the West Fjords and Snaefellsness Peninsula appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

After our drive through the East Fjords, Gareth and I began our journey into Northern Iceland. From Egilsstadir, the Ring Road brought us inland. We were no longer driving in and out of fjords, but rather going up and over mountains.  Our first attempt to veer from the Ring Road didn’t go well. We wanted […] The post Northern Iceland Winter Road Trip appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

After finishing up our drive along the Southern Coast of Iceland, we headed into the East Fjords, Iceland. I was excited for this part of the country because we were really starting to not see as many tourists and we even had some scenic locations all to ourselves.  Stokknes Beach Our first stop in the […] The post The East Fjords, Iceland Winter Road Trip appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

Since my dog is so young and energetic, we mostly just go to […] The post Dog-Friendly Hikes near Bend, Oregon appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

Spring is in full swing, and I am lamenting that I’m not returning to go hiking in Stanley, Idaho for a third summer. Last summer while working in Stanley, I went backpacking pretty much every weekend and visited all the hiking trails and lakes that were left on my list. While I’m very excited to […] The post Hiking in Stanley, Idaho: the Best Trails & Lakes appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

This past summer, I paid a visit to the Big Boulder Lakes in the White Cloud Mountains of Idaho. Compared to the Sawtooth Mountains, it’s not a very popular or accessible area for hiking. But I had heard from Stanley locals that the Boulder Chain Lakes are a must-visit location. My work friend Kevin was […] The post Big Boulder Lakes: White Cloud Mountains, Idaho appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

In my quest to hike more trails in the White Clouds, I decided to do an overnight to Chamberlain Basin. While I had set off for other hikes from Fourth of July Trailhead before, I had never taken the trail to the South from Fourth of July Lake. This hike would be all new terrain […] The post Chamberlain Basin Hike: Stanley, Idaho appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more

After having spent all of my backpacking trips last summer in the Sawtooth Mountains, I was eager to branch out a bit this summer and visit the White Cloud Mountains. I had read about the Boulder Chain Lakes long ago in an issue of Backpacker magazine, and was happy that they had such good things […] The post Boulder Chain Lakes: White Clouds, Idaho appeared first on Mountains with Megan ..read more
