5 Tips to Prepare for Your First Big Hike
Pushing limits and boundaries seems to be as innate to being human as the need for answering questions not yet understood. It is this need that has put man on the moon and led to the understanding of existence before there was history. Every individual seems to possess these qualities to some extent. Perhaps you don't have a need to travel space and time, but you do push yourself to do better. Physical endurance is also empowering, which is why there are Olympics and triathlons. There are also those who like to climb mountains.

What Visa to Issue for a Foreigner to Russia?
Does everyone need a visa? Russia has visa-free agreements with some countries. The need to obtain a visa for a specific citizenship can be found on the website of the Russian Consular service of the Foreign Ministry. Pay attention to countries of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa that require special additional steps and documents to obtain a visa. You can check the information at the Consulate or at inbound tourism companies that invite foreigners in Russia, such as visatorus.com.

Backpacking Episode 1
Serenity. That’s what the still image evokes. That’s what it brings to the forefront of my mind and memory. Those calm, cool mornings before anyone else was up; before you could hear people shuffling along the trail; when the rising fish were the only things breaking the glass lake. But the true environment was more dynamic than that. The reality was that this morning brought a sense of relief with a little paranoia. For just 24 hours earlier, we had been charged by a bear.

Follow the Path
The sudden and brazen intensity of the sun pierced through my eyelids and startled me awake. The eight-hour drive from Cora, Wyoming had been rainy and grey, and the unremarkable landscape of flat plains and lonely highways lulled me into a deep sleep. I needed the rest. My partner and I were fresh off a four-day excursion in Wyoming, where we explored the untamed beauty of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Our bodies, tender and sore, ached from traversing miles of rugged terrain, yet our spirits were as high as they’d ever been. Grateful, but hardly satiated, we craved to behold even more striking beauty and experience greater heights of adventure. As we drove through the colorful and carefree town of Springdale, Utah, and into Zion National Park, we could hardly anticipate the abundance of both astonishing beauty and wonder-inspiring excitement that awaited us.

Endless Horizons
It was late-September of 2019, I had this desire to do an overnight hike at a location I had only since dreamt of visiting. It was a place that continued to avoid me, due to poor weather and inconsistent planning on my part. I knew of many people who had made the trek up this mountain out in the middle of nowhere. It was a place I had only ever experienced through the screen of my cellular device, as I looked upon the images of photographers who had been to it. I wanted to go, so very badly. But the weather was always poor on the weekends, and that was the only time that my fellow hiking friends could take the time off from work to go hiking. Therefore, the only option was for me to go hiking alone in the middle of the week.
