Kendell & her husband got a chance to enjoy some time in the woods this weekend! They headed up to Pictured Rocks for some quality views and some quality time celebrating their anniversary.

Kendell also got to test out some of our new Canyon Crack, and the verdict is in… it’s a delicious trail snack! It’s the perfect little pick me up when you’re starting to get drained on the trail and need a little extra fuel to keep exploring.

We love seeing our gear and snacks get put to the test out in the places they’re meant to be enjoyed. ❤️
