With a name like the Sundance Trail being the main route, I had to visit Dark Canyon when exploring the outlaw trail. Discovering the Outlaw Trail: Routes, Hideouts, and Stories from the Wild West is out any day from Mountaineers. Learn about the book on my website via bio link https://t.co/W2yn29qSMV

The first photo of the far side of the Moon. Taken in 1959 by the Soviet space probe Luna 3, the grainy image showed it was very different than the near side. No large basalt plains and more mountainous. The reason remains a mystery, and future missions may reveal the full story. https://t.co/L0qrrmOFQp

Which caption do you prefer? 1 jumping into the weekend like 2 do things you never thought you'd do 3 when you can't swim, but you're being chased by a serial killer, so you have to either jump and hope, or turn and face the monster in an epic clifftop struggle 4 summer vibes https://t.co/7QWEWkr627

Most people go West for sandstone cracks & slot canyons, but you can find them in the East too. This is Natural Bridge State Resort Park near Red River Gorge Geological Area in Kentucky. I did a story on the Red recently, which led us to natural arches, caves, & bluffs https://t.co/3C2y4R0m94

Breathy announcer voice: "You never know where the outlaw trail might lead you." Slamming my new book on the table: "The answer is the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains." Discovering the Outlaw Trail: Routes, Hideouts, & Stories from the Wild West is out on Sep 1 https://t.co/kWtk3o6a1a

The rolling roads of the Ozarks often lead to waters that you can paddle. Sometimes, these roads also lead to car sickness. Still worth it. https://t.co/Pj2a4tlgza

People love to complain about driving the roughly 400 miles east-west across the state of Kansas. Traveling 240,000 miles to the Moon is like driving across Kansas 600 TIMES. Now, I actually like the high plains but 600 times is a A LOT of Kansas. I still think I'd go. https://t.co/GixPNEmUcB

On a recent trip to Big South Fork, my buddy snapped this pic of me riding the trails. The part you can't see is that my hair was also sweating. https://t.co/QLXf3IA6f7

The road to Hole-in-the-Wall, in the Red Wall Country south of the Bighorn Mountains. I backpacked into the infamous valley and camped for two nights, exploring the hideout and surrounding area on foot for my upcoming book Discovering the Outlaw Trail. https://t.co/FNogsmp122

"Does this rodent make me look fat?" If a snake ever asks you that, two things: You might be hallucinating. The answer is still ALWAYS no. I saw this satisfied customer on the Wild & Scenic Red River during a recent mag assignment in Kentucky. https://t.co/R8sYCeZj1F

The lower section of Cedar Creek in Congaree National Park a few months ago. While I got some good shots on the water, I came away feeling the main highlight here is walking through the old-growth forest on boardwalks and trails. https://t.co/DQE7pC7wdK

The shuttle was a complicated piece of the Space Age. Perhaps the most complex vehicle ever built, capable of great feats, and far more dangerous than first realized, with 14 astronauts losing their lives during missions. This NASA photo shows Endeavor in orbit in 2010. https://t.co/cfVMlzzPn5

Most people think of the West when looking for a "natural arch" or "rock window." But such formations can be found in the East, too. This rock window in sandstone is located in Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, which spans the Tennessee-Kentucky state line. https://t.co/LGOwsOoIyN

This month I wrote about visiting Red River Gorge in Kentucky for Blue Ridge Outdoors. We scrambled up bluffs, hiked trails, visited historic sites, paddled the river, & showered in a bathhouse that felt like the spider house at a zoo. I can recommend everything but the shower https://t.co/zBgVVPzrKG

This replica of Sputnik--the first artificial satellite to orbit Earth--is suspended in the missile gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. A massive air and space museum that's definitely worth visiting. https://t.co/bwWDm3G1oD

That's my kind of road. https://t.co/b4shzgDIFV
