8 Great Outdoor Blogs
June 30th, 2008 by adminWelcome to our blog! We have collectively spent so much time reading other outdoor adventure type blogs that we finally decided to create one for ourselves. We will still spend the majority of our time showing people an incredible time whitewater rafting in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona, but we will be posting here every so often too! Since we are an outdoor adventure company, we have gravitated towards reading outdoorsy blogs, and would like to spotlight some that we can’t get enough of.
In the wide world of the great outdoors, there are so many places around the country to see and experience all the things that nature has to offer. We at Mild to Wild are of course partial to white water rafting, as well as our own guided jeep tours! For many people it simply does not get any better than spending a day or a weekend cruising (or working) their way down a leisurely river or carving through class 4 rapids. Many outdoor enthusiasts love to share their experiences online through their blogs. We love reading about other adventures from across the country, and thought we would take the time to recognize “8 Great Outdoor Blogs”. Enjoy a brief paragraph about each site, and then follow the link to check out each blog. Just make sure to come back to Mild to Wild when you’re done! So, in no particular order…
