Built by someone who does the trips.

Most trip-planning resources are built by people who haven't actually done the trips. I have. Every itinerary on this site comes from personal experience, not a search result.

I've summited Colorado 14ers on pre-dawn starts, run Class IV whitewater on the Arkansas, scrambled the iron rungs above Ouray, kayaked the Everglades mangroves, and hiked the Precipice Trail at Acadia with the ocean fog still burning off below. These aren't descriptions I pulled from somewhere else.

The problem I kept running into was that good adventure planning takes real time, and most people don't have it. Permits are confusing, gear lists are generic, and most advice online is written for either complete beginners or people who already live there. This site is my attempt to fix that.

What's here

Two ways to use the site. If you want help planning a specific trip, I offer advisory services and will work with you directly. If you want to plan on your own, the planner is free to start and includes every itinerary I've built, with permits, gear lists, and day-by-day structure.

Based in Missouri

I'm not a local. Every trip to the Rockies or the coast means a flight or a long drive, a fixed number of days, and a plan that actually has to work. Most people planning these trips are in exactly that position, and I think that's shaped how I plan better than being a local would.

When you've traveled to get somewhere, a wasted day is a real loss. You need to know which trails are worth the drive, how to stack two big objectives without burning out, and where to sleep so you're not losing two hours of morning. That's the thinking behind every itinerary here.
