Out There

Where to Travel During COVID

Stuck at home, dream­ing of your next adven­ture? So are we. Here is our expert list of out­door des­ti­na­tions for a healthy trav­el experience.

One of the ques­tions we hear most often is “Where is it safe to trav­el dur­ing the COVID-19 pan­dem­ic?”  While the pan­dem­ic cer­tain­ly pos­es a num­ber of chal­lenges and safe­ty con­cerns when it comes to trav­el, there are still many des­ti­na­tions you can enjoy while lim­it­ing your risk. And in our opin­ion there is no greater place to be dur­ing a pan­dem­ic than the great out­doors!

The project start­ed in 2011 and has so far includ­ed both land and

What­ev­er you want to call it, hik­ers have recent­ly been eschew­ing the tra­di­tion­al ethos of pack­ing heavy in favor of some­thing that’s a lit­tle kinder on the back. Small­er packs, lighter gear, and few­er clothes are becom­ing com­mon­place along the world’s longest thru-hikes.
