Shuey Hikes
Camping, backpacking, and long road trips through the national parks, filmed on a 360 camera and shared on YouTube.
Out on the trail
Dr. Shuey's love of the outdoors comes from his dad, Paul, a lifelong backpacker and outdoorsman. Shuey Hikes is where the trips end up: canyon wades, alpine passes, sunrise campsites, and the long drives in between.
It is the same curiosity he brings to the practice room, pointed at a trail map instead of a score.
