After all, most places nowadays can actually be located on a map! So how do we ensure a unique trip, different from the rest? Beyond the Map has a dedicated team, researching what appears to be a simple question: "Why do YOU travel?" The answers are often highly diverse, ranging from a relaxing and spiritual retreat to an adrenaline inducing adventure. By utilizing this information we have crafted

itineraries suited for the first time traveler to the well seasoned nomad. None-the-less, each and every trip is built upon the foundation of two core components: 1) Beyond the Map Experiences- we challenge even the most knowledgeable traveler to find some of the activities and locations that we have and 2) Exploring your boundaries- whether its rappelling down a waterfall or trying the local cuisine, we believe that all great trips begin with truly discovering your own personal limits....Why do YOU travel? ...Look Beyond the Map.

Earlier this fall we hosted a ladies backpacking trip along the famous Appalachian Trail (AT). After 5 days being immersed in nature, they finished in the historic town of Harpers Ferry, WV which is also the home of the AT headquarters. The group included seasoned hikers, first time backpackers and our guide, Leah, which is a Triple Crowner (has thru hiked the AT, PCT, & CDT).

Did you know that backpacking can offer more than scenic views- it can also improve mental health!

Research has shown that 3 days being immersed in nature changes your brain chemistry by allowing the prefrontal cortex to relax, similar to a worked muscle. The results- decreased anxiety, improved mood, attention, memory, and creativity.

If you're interested in the topic, we recommend taking a deep dive into nature healing or reading ๐ŸŒ„

The rain has returned to the Pacific Northwest! ๐ŸŒง

Cozy rainy days by the fireplace are great but dont forget to grab a rain jacket and head outside! After all, there is no bad weather when you wear the proper gear.

PLUS hiking in the rain has its advantages:

โœ… those beautiful but busy trails in the summer are typically empty on rainy days

โœ… the forest comes to life! Mushrooms magically sprout, moss turns neon green and seasonal waterfalls pour from the cliffside

โœ… the mood changes. Watch the fog whisping through the valley, listen to rain drop splash off the leaves. Even a trail you've done 100 times is different in the rain!

This is what a 16,000 ft view looks like but it's not where we were supposed to be...

Days before our group arrived to Peru, our planned backpacking route to Machu Picchu experienced a major landslide that washed out several critical bridges. The alternative options were more front country and followed the same trodden paths taken by the majority of other tourists- our group was looking for something a bit more unique.

Working alongside our local team we came up with an alternative route, one that would take us over this pass and along an adventurous route. When our group finally arrived, everything was already taken care of. As we stood atop this pass, our local friends helped us pay homage to Pachamama for safe passage and we were on our way. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ”

This year we'll be returning to Peru for the first time since 2020 ๐Ÿคฏ We've missed these views and our kind friends and local team that make these experiences possible.

Before --> During --> After

60 miles & 4 days of life on the from PA to WV

Life on the trail is a rollercoaster of emotions. One moment you're soaking in a remote stream without a care in the world, the next you're in 90+ degree heat and contemplating how you wound up climbing up a mountain of jagged rocks. One thing is for certain, these first time backpackers have got GRIT! Especially Joe, aka "the big tuna," the youngest member of our group! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Get out there and get uncomfortable!

Happy !

Here in Hawaii, the early natives believed that the ocean was a sacred place from which life was given and spirits returned after death.

Although their beliefs were spiritual, today we know that life does in fact persist because of the oceans in the form of oxygen. Every other breath we take can be attributed to the small but awfully important phytoplankton.

Imagine a world where we worshipped and honored natural spaces as though they were gods.

The theme of our summer trips- BIG LANDSCAPES, little crowds.

So when we began planning a trip to , we turned our focus to the surrounding wilderness areas.

Trails zig zag across the high country and are connected by dots of sparkling alpine lakes. Waterfalls plummet down sheer granite slopes and the smell, OH THE SMELL, as the sun toasts the juniper and pines releasing the most soothing aroma ๐Ÿƒ

BEST. OF. ALL....

No crowds! ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ No noise ๐Ÿ‘‚

Just you and nature!

Who's roadtripping this summer?!๐Ÿš™ Heres our single most valuable piece of advice..but first...
We drive evvvverrrywhere...well not quite, but it sure feels like it! Perhaps it's a product of being raised in a bygone era of inaccessible flights or maybe we just enjoy the views. Either way, one thing thing is certain.
The allure of the open road, windows down, tunes blasting ๐ŸŽถ and nothing else to do but dive into a good conversation with your co-pilot ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš€... well that keeps us behind the wheel.
So what have we learned after tens of thousands of miles on the road...our single most valuable piece of advice is to.....Execute the no plan, plan! Do your homework, have ideas on where to go and what to do but leave enough room for flexibility. Over planning can stifle the adventure quickly, underplanning and you could end up more worried about what's next rather then what's right in front of you! That and to download offline maps...always!

Yesterday we mentioned we were recently in Utah. One of the many activities to do in this sliver of the world is canyoneering- basically technical, adventurous hiking! Imagine rapelling, waterfalls, swimming, scrambling, towering canyon walls and more. If you're the type of person that enjoys exploring places that the average person does not have access to, canyoneering is your jam! ๐Ÿค

Each day, millions (yes, MILLIONS!) of gallons of water flows from the underground Florida aquifer system to the surface creating over 1,000 freshwater springs throughout the state.

These crystal clear waters supply over 90% of the drinking water in Florida, provide critical habitat for wildlife and have inspired tales of the fountain of youth and other local folklore.

Today these springs are enjoyed by paddlers, anglers, divers, and more. Unfortunately, these are at risk of harmful nutrient runoff , water extraction (ehmm ditch the ) and development.

Visit these springs through and learn more about protecting these imperiled landscapes for future generations!
