Adventure on the Web: 4 Sites Everyone Should Explore

Adventure on the Web: 4 Sites Everyone Should Explore

For the latest in the outdoor world and content from across adventure sports, these four sites have you covered.

Best Inspiration Site: Adventure-Journal.com

Adventure-Journal

Former National Geographic Adventure editor Steve Casimiro runs Adventure-Journal.com from his home in southern California. The site is an online magazine for all things adventure based: camping, surfing, skiing, hiking, biking, and beyond. Design plays a huge role here. From lust-worthy weekend cabins to hip commuter bikes to images from some of the industry’s top pro photographers, the site is as beautiful as it is tantalizing. You’ll want to plan a great surf escape to Bali or stay in a treehouse in Oregon once you’re done browsing.

Best News Site: OutsideOnline.com

OutsideOnline

Outside Magazine’s online version is robust. On OutsideOnline.com, you’ll find 5,000-word feature stories about skunk takeovers or the latest tragedy on Everest and shorter blurbs about fitness trends, travel destinations, and the coolest new campervan on the market. Beyond what’s in the magazine, you’ll also get bonus photos and videos, in-depth web exclusive stories on the latest news and controversies, plus a quick-hit News from the Field section that’s updated regularly with the latest in wacky outdoor incidents, outdoor industry news, and event coverage.

Best Job Posting Site: Snewsnet.com

Snewsnet.com is the insider’s site for the outdoor industry. Dues-paying members will get more access to the site, but there’s plenty to see if you’re just stopping by. You’ll find in-depth coverage of all the gear at the Outdoor Retailer trade shows and the latest news of what company is up for sale or who’s revamping their product line. Best of all is their job-listing site, which is the go-to spot for anyone looking to land a new career in the outdoor industry.

Best Athlete Voices: Backcountry.com/explore

Mega outdoor retailer Backcountry.com recently launched a new section of their site they call the Explore tab. Although the bottom line is still to motivate you to buy gear from their site, the narrative feels real and genuine. Pro athletes and trusted writers contribute stories from the field, like Kim Havell’s ski mountaineering trip report from Greenland or tips from experts on how to fix a flat tire on your bike or find your ideal heart rate zones.
