Head into the rainforest with She Explores

Go offline with the She Explores founder, Gale Straub, and two creators, Heidi Annalise and Megan McDuffie as they explore the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. Watch the video to follow their adventure…

Gale Straub is the founder of popular website and She Explores and she's joined on the trip by miniature landscape painter Heidi Annalise and Megan McDuffie, one half of Fresh Off The Grid – a campsite cooking and outdoor blog.

The three women meet for the first time to backpack together through this beautiful region in a video created by Columbia Sportswear.

As they venture deeper into the wilderness, the women all take the time to share their artwork and recipes inspired by the natural world.

The video aims to inspire you to step away from your desk and spend more time in the great outdoors. In the UK, 50% of the population lives an hour's drive from a national park, so an adventure is just on your doorstep.
