This beautiful short film takes us on a quest with skier Drew Petersen, who set out to ski the highest peaks in all 11 of the states that make up the Western U.S. They include Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, and Montana. In order to achieve his goal, Drew had to go to some great lengths, but as you'll see, those efforts were incredibly rewarding in so many ways.

Video: Mountain Biking through Sun Valley, Idaho
Idaho's Sun Valley is one of the most amazing places in the entire American West, which is saying something when you consider how man great destinations can be found there. In this video, we join mountain bikers Thomas Vanderham and Sam Schultz as they set out to explore this vast outdoor playground from the back of their bikes. Along the way, they discover some fantastic landscapes, wonderful trails, and untold adventures. This is really a beautiful clip, and not one to be missed.

Video: Idaho Landscapes Captured by Drone
We have another video that was captured by drone again today, this time flying over the beautiful state of Idaho. It seems to me that Idaho gets neglected when people talk about how amazing western states are. Places like Colorado, Montana, and Utah seem to get more attention than Idaho, which is simply an outstanding outdoor playground for those who love mountains and untouched wilderness. The video below will give you a bit of a glimpse of what the state has to offer. Perhaps the best hidden gem in western U.S.

Video: Paragliding Over The Pioneer Mountains Of Idaho
The Pioneer Mountains in Sun Valley, Idaho is without a doubt a beautiful destination. But thanks to the video below you can get a view of the place that is unlike any other. It features some spectacular footage that was captured on a GoPro camera (Of course!) by paragliders sailing the skies above. Quite a nice way to take in the scenery.

Video: Powder Highway Road Trip #1 - Sun Valley
Remember earlier today when I mentioned that we tend to see a lot of ski videos this time of year? Here's a case in point. This video is the first in a new series of road trips to visit some of the top ski resorts in the western part of North America. The series was launched today by our friends over at National Geographic Adventure and it features skier Zach Crist and friends looking for perfect powder where ever they can find it.
