Our stories
Notes from the mountains, the jungle, and the road between. What we're building, carrying, and climbing.
Hiking all the Colorado 14ers
Fifty-eight peaks above fourteen thousand feet. An interactive map of every summit, attempt, and the ones still waiting.
Base kit: the things we carry off grid
Power, water, heat, and a signal. The short list of equipment that makes a week away from the grid feel easy.
How to camp
The unhurried beginner's guide. What to bring, how to set up, and how to do less once you're there.
Retreat and relax
On the case for doing nothing, somewhere quiet, for longer than feels reasonable.
Choosing a mountain guide
When to hire one, what to ask, and why the best guides talk more about weather than summits.
Trails in Boulder
Six walks out the back door of our hometown, from mesa strolls to the Flatirons at dawn.
Exploring Salida, Buena Vista, and Leadville
Three mountain towns on one highway, each with its own pace. A long weekend in the upper Arkansas Valley.
Sangre de Cristo mountain adventures
Colorado's steepest range keeps its secrets well. Notes from the Crestones, the dunes, and the long ridgelines between.
Escape to Nosara
Surf at first light, jungle by afternoon. Why we chose the Nicoya Peninsula for our first camp outside Colorado.
How we design
Architecture and interface are one experience. How research, human factors, and slow iteration shape every Zenith stay.
