As an avid outdoorsman and photographer, Mike Coronella spent his days experiencing the outdoors, from writing a book called Hayduke Trail: A Guide to the Backcountry Hiking Trail on the Colorado Plateau to being a wilderness first responder. He has enjoyed the country’s national parks so much that he packaged them into the Mighty 5 Tour, a luxury all-inclusive tour experience of the five of the most beautiful parks in the country. You can choose from one of two options that take you through some of the country’s most picturesque parks in luxury:

The Mighty 5 Signature Tour is a 10-night, nine-day journey with guided hikes in each of Utah’s “Mighty 5” National Parks: Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce and Zion. No more than six guests travel from park to park in a custom Mercedes Benz Sprinter van to experience some of the most remarkable hikes in the world. Every single detail is taken care of, from luxury accommodations at the region’s finest properties to first-class dining prepared by caterers on location or enjoyed at renowned restaurants along the route. A full-time, dedicated concierge accompanies guests in a separate vehicle to ensure a stress-free voyage. Tours depart from St. George, Utah on the 2nd and 17th of April, May, September and October.

The Mighty 5 Summer Tour is a six-night, five-day expedition through each of the Mighty 5 National Parks. Up to six guests will travel in the aforementioned custom Mercedes Benz van, with accommodations and dining arrangements similar to those featured in the Signature Tour. Trips begin in St. George, Utah on the 2nd and 17th of June, July and August.

The Mighty 5 Tours take the hassle out of figuring out your own itinerary and accommodation. And, judging by the looks of the photographs from the tour, you’ll be visiting some of the most beautiful parks in the United States.

3 duct tape camping hacks: Why it should always be in your hiking or camping kit

Stick to duct tape while camping — here's how

Closeup of two friends setting up a tent in the woods.

One of the most useful scenarios for duct tape is out in the wilderness, but it can be tricky to figure out how to store it. One of my go-to ways is to simply wrap several feet of duct tape around an old credit card or a sturdy piece of cardboard. I've also seen people wrap duct tape around their water bottles, but that's never appealed to me since it can be a bit of a mess to clean. Regardless of how you do it, taking some duct tape with you might just make or break your next camping or hiking trip. Here's how.
3 uses for duct tape while out in the wilderness

Patch repairs with duct tape
Sleeping pads pop and nylon tears. We've all been there, and duct tape can save the day! It's great to have duct tape on hand to patch a hole or close a gap in my tent. If you happen to accidentally tear your sleeping bag, a patch of duct tape will get you through it. Reinforce broken straps, seams, zippers, or even sole separation in your shoes and you'll make it home all right.
Duct tape in first aid
When thinking about duct tape, first aid might not always come to mind. However, duct tape is great in a jiffy for splint support if you or someone in your party ends up breaking or spraining something. With a piece of clean cloth or gauze, you can create a makeshift bandage in an emergency. You can also use a small square as blister protection if your shoes start rubbing your feet raw.
Using duct tape as an organization tool
While masking tape might work a bit better in this case, duct tape can still be used to label and tag gear or mark items. That said, nothing is better than duct tape if you want to seal an open liquid container. Duct tape can also be used to keep loose cords, tent poles, or stakes bundled together in a pinch.
