The Long Way Home

By Patrick Doyle On September 10, 2014 · Add Comment
This was a fun one: I wrote an essay for Outside about how my wife and I drove 10,000 miles around the country to scout out a new city to live in—and chose Pittsburgh. I think the Pathfinder looks good in front of the Tetons (although the black bag on top looks more like [...]

By Patrick Doyle On August 19, 2014 · Add Comment
Living in Pittsburgh is great because we’re overrun with incredibly smart individuals doing amazing work at the local universities, hospitals, and private companies in the region. I was lucky enough to write about two of them for MIT Tech Review’s 35 Innovators Under 35 story. Kathryn Whitehead is a chemical engineering [...]

Hiking Maine’s Backcountry

By Patrick Doyle On August 12, 2014 · Add Comment
Last summer, Mountain magazine sent me and my two youngest brothers on a three-day, two-night trip to the gorgeous backcountry of Maine. We hiked, ate, drank, canoed, and bunked with the very cool Maine Huts & Trails system. Somehow, we survived each other. An excerpt: “…while all four of us are fairly [...]

Climate Change is Pushing Mountain Species to the Brink

By Patrick Doyle On March 4, 2014 · Add Comment
Out in the Winter 2014 issue of Mountain magazine, I wrote a feature on the devastating effects of climate change on mountain species. As global temperatures rise—they’re expected to increase two to seven degrees by 2100—animals are moving both to higher elevations and farther north. And they’re doing so quickly. Here’s a [...]

Gas Price Breakdown, 2014

By Patrick Doyle On January 23, 2014 · Add Comment
Around three years ago, I put together a chart showing the breakdown of gas prices from 2000 to 2011, mostly because I was intrigued that the gas tax hadn’t been raised since 1993.
