SEEKING PERFECT MATCH


Are you the one? No, the Cairn Crew is not looking for a date (well, I'll speak for myself anyway). We're seeking a Brand Hero to join our team! This customer service and operations-focused role is in-person based in the outdoor mecca Bend, Oregon. Sweeeet.

RAISING RISK


Even for the most extreme adventurers, becoming a parent can trigger an immediate urge to insulate your child from any possible risk. But maybe that's not the way to go.

QUICK & DIRTY


Get a free canoe rental all summer! Just commit to doing this one small thing while you're on the water.

Enter for a chance to win an adventurous Central Oregon prize pack (including a Cairn subscription!).

Hold the ice.

The American Alpine Club just launched the Catalyst Grant to support climbing goals big and small.


CAMPFIRE CONVERSATION


"The earth is the largest rock that any of us will ever stand on. So I've never understood rock climbers. By standing on the earth, you have stood on the biggest rock. You don't have to keep climbing rocks. Unnecessary."
