An ultra-rare Ford Bronco Desert Racer is headed to the auction block
The one-of-50 model hearkens back to Ford's glory days of conquering the Baja 1000 off-road race series

The latest edition of the Ford Bronco has become one of the most sought-after trucks in recent memory. But, if the stock (or even the Raptor version) just isn't disco enough for you, there's the Ford Bronco Desert Racer.

First introduced in 2022, the exclusive Bronco DR (Desert Racer) was limited to just 50 units. It was purpose-built for discerning customers who wanted the best, most off-road-capable, most badass Bronco that Ford could deliver. The design team pulled heavy inspiration from the brand's glory days when Ford ran circles around the competition in the Baja 1000 off-road series with a long string of trophies in the '60s and '70s.

Boots, buddies, and beyond: Why joining a hiking club can transform your life
Want to stop hiking solo? Find your people at a hiking club

One of the hardest parts about moving to Washington state was the fact that my husband and I had no roots here. Zip, zero, nada. My side of the family inconveniently resides on the East Coast, mostly in Florida, and our closest relatives on my husband's side are cousins who settled in California. Needless to say, we were in desperate need of friends. It took us a while to find our people, and I think that joining a hiking club could have expedited the roots-growing process. Whether you're fresh in town or looking for a new group of friends, here's why you should join a hiking club this year.
How a hiking club could change your life

If you've ever felt the pull of a winding trail through pines or a muddy path just begging for footprints, this is a good reason why you should join a hiking club, as it could just shake up your life. There's no doubt about it, being outdoors has so many benefits, both mental and physical, but I've found that staying outdoors only seems to deepen my love for the crackle of leaves underfoot and peaceful views of waterfalls.
Club hiking vs. solo hiking
When done safely, hiking solo is a perfectly valid way to unwind from a stressful day. That said, joining a hiking club can broaden your horizons in a few ways. Seasoned clubs know trails you'd never find solo, unless you're starring in your own lost hiker true crime podcast. Then, there's a certain level of accountability. It's so much easier to get off that couch when you know someone is out there expecting you, which means that you'll reap the physical benefits of regular exercise and the mental benefits of community.
Find your people in a hiking club
Speaking of community, that's one of my favorite parts about joining a hiking club. More heads are better than one. Whether it's the guy who knows every knot in the universe or the gal who can identify any bird in the sky, you're bound to pick up something you didn't know before. Never learned how to read a map the old-fashioned way? No problem. Someone in your new hiking club should know that. Some clubs even offer workshops if you're lucky.
Get great gear advice
Your new hiking club will also be aware of what gear works best for your area. For Seattle, we quickly found out that waterproof shoes and windbreakers go a long way, but narrowing down brands was overwhelming, even with online searches and reviews. With a hiking club, you've now got a go-to team of seasoned gear reviewers who can help keep you from making a bad decision.
Hiking clubs increase safety
There's also safety in numbers. If you're hiking in bear country, these majestic animals will often avoid trails if they can hear you coming. More people mean more noise, so they'll be able to clear the area long before you make an appearance. When you hike solo, the chances of you coming across a bear or other dangerous animal increases, and the last thing you want to do is surprise one. Do yourself a favor and join a hiking club.
