Does your picnic include a certificate of authenticity? It does if you travel with RW trip leader Daniel Sundqvist. Not only does he carry a watermelon in his pack, but he also bears papers certifying the authenticity of his cheese. On this sunny day in the Alps, Daniel and his...

Mike and Nicole are getting married! Mike popped the question to Nicole while hiking across the Alpe di Siusi, the largest ‘Alp’ in the Alps. The setting couldn’t have been more idyllic—flower-filled meadows, cute little Tyrolean chalets and the vertical rock walls of the Italian Dolomites standing proudly in the...

Our new Norway hiking tour finished on Tuesday and the trip was a complete success! Our guests loved it, our trip leaders loved it, and there is no doubt that our tour will be "wait list-only" next year. This trip rocks! Don’t just take our word for it though;...

Here's a really nice story from the New York Times about hiking through the Berner Oberland region of central Switzerland. Even if you're not a James Bond fan, (would you admit it?), you'll enjoy reading about the snow-capped summits, cascading waterfalls and flower-filled meadows that grace so many photographs...

Peter Walker captured this photo of an inverted ski boot (and ski) while wandering the canyon country in advance of our upcoming Arches & Canyonlands hiking tour.

"Wow! Look at all that food!" Ryder-Walker’s newest, (and youngest), trip leader, Tilly Glanznig, has a voracious appetite. Even so, it appears that Tilly's first meal at the Dolores River Brewery caught her by surprise. Tip: If you find yourself in Dolores, Colorado, then be sure to stop by the DRB. It's...

I am sitting at my desk feeling a bit uninspired. The cursor just winks at me, waiting for me to put the words on the page. I take to the trail. Fresh air and endorphins always do the trick. I lace up my runners and set out on the dirt...
