Hii I’m Denae!

Also known as “The Weekend Forecast” to a lot of people around here.

Welcome to my blog! I am passionate about getting people outside in anyway possible. Whether it’s getting someone comfortable going to their local park for a hike, or backpacking into the backcountry. I want to help you do it. So if you are trying explore and need an idea of what to bring, I hope to be a resource to you to enjoy outside and be confident doing it!

Happy Hiking - Nae

  • Backpacking

    Nothing feels better than only worrying what is on your back, and where you’re going that next day.

  • Day Hikes

    Free therapy that creates good memories and gathers people together, what more could you want?

  • Camping

    Whether you sleep in a tent on the ground or on your car, nothing beats being one step away from nature.

  • Exploring New Towns

    8/10 you can find me in the woods. But when i’m not there, find me in a new mountain town in an A-frame cabin or a cute coffee shop smiling.
