Wild Trails Outdoors is my personal gateway to the wild—where hiking boots, bike tires, paddles, and campfires tell the story of a life spent chasing adventure. This is where I share my own journeys through trails, rivers, and campgrounds, blending firsthand experiences with practical advice for anyone who loves the great outdoors.
Here you’ll find articles, photos, and videos from my travels, along with honest reviews of products and services, step-by-step how-to guides, and tips that come from years of exploring. From backcountry trails and winding bike routes to quiet coves and remote campsites, my goal is to inspire you to explore and give you the tools to do it with confidence.
Most of all, Wild Trails Outdoors is about my love for passing along what I’ve learned—so you can experience the same thrill, peace, and wonder that comes from embracing life beyond the pavement and learn to Adventure the Outdoors Without Limits!

🌲 Trail Prayer – Proverbs 3:5–6 🌲
“Lord, I trust You with all my heart as I step onto this trail.
I will not lean only on my own strength or understanding,
but in every path, river, and mountain road, I submit the journey to You.
Guide my steps, straighten my path,
and keep me safe beneath Your watchful eye.
Wherever this trail leads, may I walk it with courage,
knowing You go before me, beside me, and behind me. Amen.”
Proverbs 3:5–6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
For the adventurer like you, it reads almost like a trail guide:
- “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Don’t just rely on maps, gear, or your own strength—rely on Him.
- “Lean not on your own understanding.” Trails twist and turn, life throws surprises, but God sees the whole path.
- “In all your ways submit to him.” Every trail, trip, or decision, big or small, acknowledges His hand in it.
- “He will make your paths straight.” He clears the obstacles, points the direction, and gets you safely where you need to be.
