01. Photographer pick: Luis Ramirez

Luis has a knack for landscapes — specifically, for stunning canyon ranges. Whatever canyon destinations you can think of in Northern America, he is sure to have been there at some point to document its beauty. 

We really liked his photo page on Instagram!

03. Book pick: Rand McNally 2022 Road Atlas

At the heart of every road trip is a road atlas.

The age of the paper road atlas may seem to be over, but we aren't so convinced. A road atlas doesn't just serve as a functionality during road trips .... it's the inspiration behind them all. 

This edition contains maps of every state in the US, each Canadian province, an overview of Mexico and inset maps of over 350 cities and 25 national parks!

04. Audio pick: Chris Cage - The Joe Rogan Experience

Notorious for its never-ending episodes, Joe Rogan's podcast makes for excellent car ride entertainment. This oldie but goodie featuring adventurer and author Chris Cage is one of our favorites. Join Joe and Chris for more than 2 hours as they discuss the degrees of wanderlust in the Great Outdoors. What drives some people to pursue adventure while others not so much?
