Mountain Town Ramblers

Kyle Harvey & Theresa Hurst
Theresa and Kyle visit mountain towns and hope to inspire you to do the same. We have a dual focus, first, to explore the outdoor spaces around the towns and second, to find the best of the fantastic local restaurants, attractions, and nightlife within the town. We also love to explore Provincial and State parks, providing beautiful spaces for those fascinated with exploring the natural beauty surrounding us. We are not experts by definition, but we love exploring and telling a great story. This is the place to start if you are beginning your love for the outdoors. If you have enjoyed exploring for years, we still believe you will find something of value here. Join us on our adventures.
