Salt Lake vs Park City | Where to Live for the Best Outdoor Adventures | Mountain Biking + Downhill MTB (Part 3)

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Trying to compare the opportunities to go mountain biking in Salt Lake City versus Park City! Either way, there are endless opportunities, but there is a clear winner here! People that live in Salt Lake City believe that Park City is just another suburb of Salt Lake. The locals that live in Park City know that’s simply not true. And so it goes, the endless debate (and rivalry) on which town/city is better to live in. Either Park City, where the mountains are at your fingertips because you live in the mountains, or Salt Lake City that sits right at …

People that live in Salt Lake City believe that Park City is just another suburb of Salt Lake. The locals that live in Park City know that’s simply not true. And so it goes, the endless debate (and rivalry) on which town/city is better to live in. Either Park City, where the mountains are at your fingertips because you live in the mountains, or Salt Lake City that sits right at the foot of the beautiful Wasatch Front Mountains. And through this series of posts, I hope to help those that are looking to move out west to Utah, on …

Backcountry Skiing the Wasatch | Days Fork (Video)

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

02/26/2023 – With avalanche conditions slowly healing from the previous weeks storm that dropped over 3ft of powder on the Wasatch Mountains, it was time to get out and do some skiing. I linked up with my buddy Mike and his friend Skyler to check out some safe terrain in Days Fork of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The plan was to keep it mellow and low angle, because the avalanche conditions were considerable due to the heavy wind loading along with the wet-slide potential from the unseasonably warm weekend temperatures. We parked at the spruces campground and headed out on the …

Exploring Bangkok’s Chinatown | THAILAND

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Chaos. Pure, yet somehow organized, amazing chaos with the ever-present smell of food and spice in the air. That is the high-level overview of how I could best describe the Chinatown area of Bangkok. And we loved every single minute of it! We were immersed in the culture from the moment we woke up each day, until we retired to our hotel room after an exhausting, adventure-filled day. The sprawl of the city, the efficiency of the subway, the uniqueness of the lifestyle, and of course, the incredible food everywhere you looked. Bangkok was an explosion of new experience for …

Food Connects Across Cultures | THAILAND

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Our second night staying on the Coconut island, off the eastern coast of Phuket, I had one of those travel experience that you only read about in travel novels or magazines. One where the language and cultures couldn’t be any different from one another, and we were still able to find common interested and enjoy one another’s company. My wife and I were invited, after finishing our dinner, to an older Thai gentleman’s table to split a bottle of local Hong Thong rum, but we found out that it was about so much more than just the rum. As some …

Bangkok Floating Market Tour | THAILAND

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

Boat Noodles, long tail boats, and street market food that would blow the top of most Thai restaurants in America. This is everything Netflix has showcased about the infamous floating markets outside of Bangkok. And though each floating market is different, the tour we booked through AirBnB Experience with our guide Vicky lived up to all our expectations. We ate so much traditional Thai food that I would never have tried in a million years, experience the ride of a lifetime in a long tail boat, and even had a family style lunch at a unique floating restaurant. All of …

Ultimate Weekend Guide: Escalante, Utah

Zachary Kenney0 Comments

The town of Escalante is one of Utah’s last remaining hidden gems, untouched in so many ways, with true sense of adventure still able to be found here. This desert landscape, that surrounds the tiny town of Escalante, is expansive and seemingly endless in all directions. A haven for both off-roaders and human powered alike. And after five years of adventures here, I still have barely touched the surface of possibilities here. There are so many more slot canyons, jeep roads, canyoneering, hikes, and climbs to be explored. As I mentioned, I’ve only scratched the surface, but I’ve spent so …
