Flowing Creek to Frozen Peak

Hello hello!

We're excited to start documenting the adventures we have together in our first few years of marriage. Both of us enjoy the outdoors and have experience when it comes to hiking and camping. We look forward to testing out gear, providing pointers, and sharing a bit about our adventures to help spark ideas for your own.


Flowing Creek to Frozen Peak is the saying we came up with to describe what we wish to accomplish. We want to find trails, campsites, activities, and places to explore around the Twin Cities and surrounding areas of Minnesota through all four seasons from snowshoeing Afton Alps State Park to backpacking the Superior Hiking Trail.

This Blog is about starting small and working our way outwards of Minnesota, just like you would to train for a long hike. With all the options from state parks to national hiking trails it can easily become overwhelming to know how and where to begin. We look forward to outlining different hikes and areas that we find with simple-to-navigate directions and explanations as well as our personal opinions and tips that have worked while on the trail.

We're no experts but here's a little about us.

Blake: Is a former Marine with plenty of tips and stories to share. From hiking all over California, Utah, Nevada, and a few deserts it's acceptable to say he's the more experienced. Combining his knowledge of technical and survivor skills with his love for the north woods he will explore necessary gear and tips to avoid unwanted experiences while along the trail.

Maurina: Worked and traversed the YMCA of the Rockies by hiking countless mountains, trails, and snowy terrain. She's excited to survey different types of apparel and equipment designed for women as well as show different ways to stay active on and off the trail.

We can't wait to get in the woods!

Go breathe the wild air
