Background - Discover Outdoors

After returning from our 2013 cycle tour of the Mississippi River Trail, friends, family and other outdoor enthusiasts encouraged us to continue writing and to share some of our other trips.    

Tire Dipping Celebration - Seattle, Washington

We have a passion for the outdoors and a love of the Pacific North West – rivers, the ocean, mountains, and the rain forest.  From day trips to longer adventures we always jump at the chance to get outside…on foot, by bike or by kayak!  There is so much to discover on the west coast! 

Liquid Sunshine - Pacific North West

To capture the spirit of outdoor discovery, we decided to name our blog Discover the Outdoors.  
Our goal is to share our routes, and experiences with those interested in exploring this gorgeous part of the world.

Preparation is always paramount, especially when venturing in to the back country.  Proper planning and equipment is crucial…..you don’t want to be the unprepared hiker or paddler that needs to call Search and Rescue for a lift home.  Go with an experienced friend and learn about trip planning and wilderness first aid.  Most outdoor adventure companies offer lessons and guided trips  - a great place to start and learn about out-tripping before you venture out alone.

The Biggest Challenge – JUST START! These trips are for every one, can be done at any speed, and feature some of the great locations on the roads less travelled. Along the way be sure to challenge your senses to see, smell, touch and experience nature.  We guarantee you will not be disappointed.

If you haven't seen anything incredible yet today.....go outside!  We will see you there.
