theBRIGADE: Farmington Canyon

Farmington Canyon

So a couple of weekends ago, Jeff and I took Jeremy on his first camp out with theBRIGADE. Nothing too intense for his first tB trip. We went up to Farmington Canyon for the night and had a really good time. I put Jeremy into his pack on my back and we hiked in about a mile and a half and Jeff knew a great spot right by the river. The canyon was incredibly green and the river was gushing with spring runoff. We set up a great shelter and Jeremy had a great time exploring the campsite. Jeff threw some vegi dogs on for dinner and Jeremy stuffed himself on Goldfish crackers and snacks. We were enjoying the fire until we started to feel rain drops start to fall. We retreated to the shelter and got ready for bed. It was a pretty decent rain storm that night, but Jeremy wouldn't have noticed. He slept right through everything. That little guy is a HEATER too. I didn't even climb all the way into the bag. Haha. We got up early the next morning and had a great hike out. Welcome to theBRIGADE, little man!

Who Are We?

In 2002, theBRIGADE was founded on paper in a high school English class that officially gave a title to our group of three snowboarders, familiy, and friends. Over the years, we expanded our snowboarding team to other friends and fellow riders who shared our vision of not only snowboarding, but life in general. For us, it was all about pushing our personal limits, riding to live, living to ride, and shredding the gnar. Now that we're a little older, our focus has broadened from just snowboarding to hiking, backpacking, and exploring Nature's high places. We're still as tight as ever and the brotherhood we share continues to grow with each adventure. We don't claim to be anything more than we are, a group of adventurers taking the most out of life and giving back what we can. This is what theBRIGADE is all about. And where we come from, we ride!
