Adventures in Chamonix | France’s highest cable car and the Tour du Mont Blanc

Brittany and Andy head to Chamonix, a picturesque town in France and the home of Western Europe’s tallest mountain at 15,774 feet: Mont Blanc. We ride the terrifying Aiguille du Midi cable car to the mountaintop and tackle a day hike on the Tour du Mont Blanc with 3,000 feet of vert…and plenty of sketchy ladders. Along the way, we make friends with a few ibexes and catch some iconic views around Lacs des Chéserys and Lac Blanc.

We Moved to the Pacific Northwest! Foraging for Mushrooms

It's a new chapter for Bad Hikers: Brittany and Andy are officially residents of the Pacific Northwest! Come along as we make the nerve-wracking decision to buy an 100-year-old home, sight unseen, in Oregon. Then we kick things off with some mushroom foraging and reminisce about our first few months in our new home: summiting Mt. Hood, kayaking Lost Lake, and enjoying the change of the seasons....

It's our final days on the John Muir Trail and our final episode of the series. Andy blasts over Kearsarge Pass to pick up our last resupply in Independence, CA. Brittany unravels on Forester Pass, the highest point on the JMT at 13,200 feet. Then it's all uphill to the summit of Mt. Whitney, the highest mountain in the contiguous United States.

It’s all mountain passes from here: In this episode, we tackle Mather Pass, Pinchot Pass, and Glen Pass on the John Muir trail. Every pass has its own unique characteristics and challenges, but as promised by other hikers, Glen Pass is a total beast with switchbacks that look like itty bitty goat trails. Andy starts coming to terms with the fact that we’re nearing the end of our adventure. Brit...

We finally hike over the iconic Muir Pass and stop for a much-needed Snickers break at the Muir hut. Then it's all down hill (more than 3,000 feet down, in fact!) to our next campsite in Kings Canyon National Park. Andy's sun shirt gets stolen by a furry creature in the night and Brittany faces another grueling task: climbing the Golden Staircase. But it's all worth it when we reach the most be...

Selden Pass turns out to be little more than a blip as we hike to our halfway point on the JMT, Muir Trail Ranch! After picking up our third resupply, we head into King's Canyon National Park, home to some of the most breathtaking scenery on the trail: Evolution Valley, McClure Meadow, and Muir Pass. Brittany gets a trail name and Andy embrace his thru-hiker aesthetic. We both survive our first...

We head over Silver Pass and reach a new milestone: 100 miles on the John Muir trail! Brittany admits thru hiking is harder than expected and starts taking ibuprofen with breakfast. Andy decides it can't get better than our camp at Bear Creek. Spoiler alert: It gets even better than our camp at Bear Creek. 🌟SUBSCRIBE🌟 so you don’t miss an episode of our brand new John Muir trail series! New epi...

We exit Yosemite National Park over Donohue Pass, only to find ourselves in a hail storm!

We’re so excited to finally get to share it with you! In this first episode, we begin our journey at Happy Isles-nervous and so excited-and make our way through the stunning Yosemite National Park. We stop at Cathedral Lakes, Tu...

We finally hike to the Bridge to Nowhere, the most popular hike in Angeles National Forest (and a bungee jumping destination)! Built in 1936, the bridge was meant to connect the East Fork Road, but when the San Gabriel River flooded in 1938, the road was abandoned. You can now see remnants along the East Fork Trail! Andy nearly loses a drone; Brittany waits for a bus to nowhere. 🌟SUBSCRIBE🌟 for...

The Arroyo Seco, Spanish for “dry stream,” runs from Mt. Wilson in Angeles National Forest down through Pasadena until it meets the Los Angeles River. Efforts to preserve the stream and the canyon it runs through started more than 100 years ago; now it’s #BadHikers favorite urban hike! Brittany picks up on the secret garden vibes under the freeway; Andy chooses his own adventure. 🌟SUBSCRIBE🌟 fo...

We set out to tackle switchbacks and slushy snow on the Mt. Whitney trail, all in pursuit of...not the summit?! Nope, #BadHikers on are a day hiking expedition to Lone Pine Lake, a frozen alpine oasis at nearly 10,000 feet. Brittany remembers why she hikes even when it’s hard and Andy thinks back to our last trip in the John Muir Wilderness where we fell in love with hiking and backpacking. 🌟SU...

No, that’s not an exaggeration: While backpacking in Los Padres National Forest, #BadHIkers cross the Manzana Creek 64 times in the quest to camp at an abandoned 127-year-old schoolhouse.

We spot coyotes, elk, and some very energetic ground squirrels during a 12-mile hike at the Wind Wolves Preserve, a grassland and wildlife corridor between the California Coast Ranges and Sierra Nevada. In true #BadHikers fashion, we miss the sign saying the gate locks at 5 p.m. Brittany loses her mind over some wild melons and Andy puts his problem solving skills to the test. SUBSCRIBE for vid...

#BadHikers hit up Sequoia National Forest! But rather than make our way to the famed giant sequoia grove, we ended up in...a giant cave instead? Packsaddle Cave is a seemingly reasonable 5.9-mile roundtrip, but it’s all uphill, with the occasional confusing creek crossing. Andy’s blown away by the largest cave he’s ever seen, and Brittany reminisces about that time she went spelunking. SUBSCRIB...
