Uncommon Path chronicles the experiences, events and ideas that shape the relationship between people and life outside. Our stories aren’t limited to trails and peaks. They take us to parks and urban places closer to home. Our writers explore issues like climate change, nature's impact on public health and increasing access to outdoor spaces. And yes, we dig into the best gear to help you get out there—wherever out there is for you.

No matter where you come from, what you look like or what you knew before, everyone’s welcome outside. This is your invitation to take the path less traveled.
