Snow or Sand?

Colorado
Colorado: Top of the Rockies
Soaring mountains over 14,000-feet high are a mecca for skiers, hikers, and jaw-droppers alike. Along Colorado’s Top of the Rockies Scenic Byway you’ll find Aspen Snowmass, Ski Cooper, Beaver Creek, Vail Mountain, Copper Mountain and Breckenridge ski resorts. Top off the day cuddled up by a cozy fireplace, on an evening sleigh ride, or enjoying the après ski scene.
 Hawaii
Hawaii: Big Island
Warm sand on your toes, the soothing sound of gentle waves... you deserve a sunshiney getaway. Whether you want to relax and unwind on sun-drenched beaches or kick it up with exhilarating activities, Hawaii’s Big Island features exotic landscapes, the world’s most active volcano, a rich cultural history and Kona coffee, shave ice, poke and tiki cocktails.

Give the Gift of Adventure!

America the Beautiful

Who’s on your gift list? Nature lover, hiker, bird-watcher, camper, national park bucket-lister, road trip fanatic — The America the Beautiful Annual Pass offers unlimited access for one year to all U.S. National Parks, National Forests, National Wildlife Refuges, and sites managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. That’s over 2,000 sites!

It’s easy to order online. No name is associated with pass when it ships. For the America the Beautiful Pass, the recipient simply signs the pass on the back. (Bonus: two people can sign and use the pass and they don’t even have to live in the same household).

We can ship to you — or directly to the recipient. We can also include a gift card at no additional charge. Just type your message in the “Special Request” area when ordering — or send us an email. Don’t forget to let us know what holiday or celebration it’s for — Christmas, Hanukah, Birthdays... we have cards for every theme.

Choose from America the Beautiful Annual Pass, or Pacific Northwest, Southern California, Tonto, Coconino, and White Mountain National Forests.

Free Entrance on Black Friday: Opt-Outside!

#OptOutside was started by REI to encourage people to reconnect with the outdoors — and with family and friends over the holidays instead of shopping on Black Friday.

Many State and County Parks and National Forests are participating by offering free entrance on Nov 23. 2018.

Check the list below to find a park near you. Please email us if you hear of other parks not in this list. We’ll share that info on our Facebook and Bluesky pages.

And if you can’t make it to one of these parks — just take a walk around your neighborhood!

Thanksgiving Travel

According to a report from AAA, this Thanksgiving, airports, train stations and roads will be the most crowded they’ve been since 2005 — with some 54 million Americans expected to travel more 50 miles. Please pack your patience, slow down, and relax. With the frenzy of the holiday season, remember to appreciate what you have, cherish those you care about, and show kindness to all.
