GORP is a resource for outdoors enthusiasts.

Honestly, not sure I want to know what these numbers are going to look like in a few weeks.

Realistic possibility this is our earliest snowpack peak/melt on record (since 1987).

Still early to talk about spring/summer implications, but obviously this isn't good.

A quality water bottle is the perfect stocking stuffer. We took a look at Hydroflask, Camelbak, and Yeti.

Last night's Northern Lights were great, including here in Minnesota.

What was just as cool, though, was how many people were outside at parks & open spaces at 10, 11pm. They had ditched their streaming and TV and were all just looking up in the sky.

Nature > Netflix.

Ever fished for steelheads? They are a fun fish to catch, and best of all they tend to reside in beautiful places!

The #OptOutside movement is one of our favorites in recent years.

It encourages people to get outside and enjoy autumn the day after Thanksgiving, rather than race into a big box store at 6am.

Thanks, REI, for making Opt Outside more visible.

Never hurts for hikers to have bear spray along. It is very effective and easy to carry.

Little known fact, bear spray works equally well on mountain lions and cougars, too.

(note: The bear shown here is actually a Black bear. California doesn't have Brown or Grizzly bears.)

😰 A hiker recorded this terrifying encounter with a brown bear and two cubs on a narrow hiking trail near Sierra Madre, California.

The bears charged and followed the runner as she backed away, roaring in an attempt to scare them off.
