Bicycling Magazine

Couer D'Alene was one of four cities I profiled from a cyclist's perspective for Bicycling Magazine's front-of-book "Perfect Day" installment. The other three were Madison, Wisconsin; Portland, Maine; and Burlington, Vermont.

Backpacker Magazine

I wrote this feature article for Backpacker Magazine's annual National Parks issue. Coordinating with a citizen journalist reporting from the field, I wrote a narrative for a four-day backpack through Yosemite's backcountry. The feature also includes intel and sidebars promoting corresponding apps, online features, and a GPS trip report.

I wrote over 100 trip reports for Backpacker.com in just over two years. Backpacker partnered with Trimble Outdoors with the goal of creating a GPS database of every major hike and backpack in the USA. Backpacker users submitted GPS tracks and photos of routes in their region, and I was responsible for turning these into trip reports comprised of a colorful narrative, accurate GPS information, geo-located photos, and a fact-checked route description.
