WESTERN BASECAMPS

The Western Basecamps section is a collection of carefully chosen gateway communities across the American West—places selected not simply for their beauty, but because they serve as ideal launching points into landscapes, stories, and experiences that define their regions. From the forests and mountain valleys of North Bend to the high desert around Bend, the alpine scenery of Whitefish and Jackson, the red rock country surrounding St. George and Sedona, and the cultural richness of Santa Fe, each Basecamp is intended to be more than a destination—it is a starting point for meaningful exploration. Here you'll find featured hikes and bike routes, local history and hidden gems, food and coffee recommendations, nearby national parks, suggested itineraries, member experiences, and eventually the opportunity to stay at future Tenderfoot Basecamps designed around community, adventure, and the belief that some of life's best journeys begin with a place that feels like home.
