Arielle Shipe | Outdoor Adventure + Motherhood

An opportunity came up to meet one of my very best friends (who lives very far away in Australia) for an adventure but it meant driving to Seattle, WA from Colorado solo with my 11 month old. Truthfully, I didnt think twice about it. It wasnt a matter of if just how. What are the logistics of dri...

This is in*COLORADO*Whats crazy to me is that I have lived in Colorado most of my life (only 2 hours from this spot!) and had no idea this place existed. This is the Colorado National Monument and it is INSANELY beautiful. My husband was away for work a few weeks ago and I was feeling stir crazy ...

Would you brave the snow or would you rather wait until later in the season when its all melted out?I LOVE this hike in the summer but Im too impatient to wait so theres usually at least a little snow on my first Crater Lake hike of the season. Todays mission was probably the snowiest early seaso...

I find myself rediscovering the world through the eyes of my little one. Every hike, every camping trip, every moment spent outdoors becomes a new adventure, not just for me, but for us both. Parenthood hasnt dimmed my adventurous spirit; its ignited it in ways I never imagined. Sure, it does tak...

#ad It is truly an honor to partner with the @coloradowildlifecouncil to share this message. If you arent familiar with the Leave No Trace principles I highly recommend taking some time to educate yourself so that you can recreate responsibly. Colorado is pretty magical. Lets do our part to take ...

Nowhere else Id rather beBut for real, van travel with a baby is actually the best. While you cant get as far as fast, Ive found it to be WAY more enjoyable than flying with a baby. Its so nice to have everything you need with you and to be completely on your own timeframe (which makes navigating...

A fully electric Subaru!! #sponsoredMy very first car when I was 16 years old was a Subaru (and I have owned one ever since) so I have to say, I am BEYOND excited about t...

*Save this post for future reference*With the snowpack, finding a good early-season hike can sometimes be a challenge. We LOVE this little gem near Carbondale, CO:Mushroom Rock (Red Hill)Distance: up to 2.2 Miles out and back(but less than 1 mile RT to the first lookout)Up to 800 ft elevation gai...

I think back to my hardest weeks of motherhood so far and they were the weeks I felt lonely.I may not have been as efficient at responding to my texts in those early months (or realistically even now still) but I have been so grateful for the friends who have continued to reach out who have been ...

Staying connected while you ride doesnt just make it more fun but it also makes it more safe! If you are riding with kiddos you can easily encourage them or give them tips (while also hearing their hilarious monologues). If you are riding with friends you can let the group know if someone took a ...

Is it weird to say that I think hiking the PCT was actually great preparation for motherhood? LolHear me out, it was incredibly hard BUT so freaking rewarding. There were a lot of moments I wasnt sure if I was enjoying myself but, at the end of each day, Id go to bed with immense gratitude And on...
