Venture Wild

Adventure Is Everywhere

Hi! We’re Kate & DJ, travelers, adventure seekers, and salty souls. We have been traveling full time for the past 4 years, and in that time, we’ve had some big adventures, and our fair share of misadventures along the way! 

Like most good stories our starts with falling in love, takes some silly and entirely unpredictable twists, and ends with a cliffhanger (we’ve been known to make that last part literal) 

Having been around the world and back we’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. Venture wild is a place for travelers, explorers, and anyone with an adventurous dream. Whether you’re planning your next trip or just dreaming about adventure, hang with us- inspiration abounds!

  • Welcome To Slow Season! 🌲⁣
⁣
While we wait for snow season 😉 This is honestly a time of year we couldn’t possibly love more if we tried. ⁣
⁣
After 14 countries, a thousand late nights and even earlier mornings, sleeping on trains, planes, in cars and the occasional random floor, we’re soaking up slow lazy mornings with cozy cups of coffee, winter walks with no agenda, and the chance to just slow down and appreciate where we’ve been this year and get ready for where life is going to take us next!⁣
⁣
How’s this season treating you?⁣

  • We’ve been in a lot of caves… ice caves, cave caves, salt caves, underwater caves, sea caves… but a lava cave that’s a new one. ⁣
⁣
700,000 years ago Mother Nature decided to put on a show- during a massive volcanic eruption a river of hot molten lava came pouring through an underground fissure and formed the mile long Lava River Cave. ⁣
⁣
It probably wasn’t a whole lot of fun to hang out in the 7 hundred thousand years ago, but today that’s a whole other story 😉 ⁣
⁣
Here’s what you need to know: ⁣
⁣
🛻 It’s about a 15 min. drive down an unpaved Forest Service Road to reach the trailhead- low clearance cars can do it but you’ll need to go slow. ⁣
🗺️ Getting There: take Forest Service Rd 245 for 3 miles, Fire Road 171 for 1.1 miles, and then Fire Road 171B for .4 miles ⁣
❄️ Temps in the cave range between 40-30 F year round, dress in layers. ⁣
💡 The Forest Service reccomends you bring 3 sources of light. Heed the warning, this is a dangerous place in total darkness. ⁣
🥾 The ground is sharp, uneven, and shifty, proper footwear is a must. ⁣
