About Matt Ripperton

A former thru-hiker of the Appalachian Trail, and (most of) the Pacific Crest, and occasional peak-bagger, my adventuring took on a different format when we had our 2 kids, and 2 furry friends as well. Weekending and road trip vacations became the best way to introduce our family to the wide world and all the astonishing places in it. We started renting camper vans on Outdoorsy and were hooked by the freedom and comfort a roving home base could provide. Our favorite trips have been Yosemite and Sun Valley, but anywhere we can go together in the van is an occasion!
