Banff and Jasper National Parks were so beautiful. They were also a challenge to pack for.

I’ve come to look forward to camping season, and if you’re someone who hates it, then don’t keep reading. You might just want to try it after reading some of these posts. I’ve compiled a list of posts I’ve done on back-country camping. I’ve made packing checklists, tips for how to do it and some guides for places I’ve been that are within an 8 hour drive of Columbus, Ohio.
I'm from Ohio and I enjoy part-time traveling with my husband. I use this blog to share my practical travel tips for how to travel light and get the most out of your traveling adventures.
