Parents committed to getting outside with our kids of all ages in the mountains, the woods, the desert, the glaciers, the water, by boat or by foot, rain or shine.

Site founder Shannon Huffman Polson is a writer and a mom who spends as much time outdoors with her husband and son as she possibly can, mostly between Washington and Alaska. She can be found at www.aborderlife.com.
