Our Mission

What is Outside Chronicles?
Outside Chronicles started as a blog to share outdoor adventures. OC has grown into a successful guide service, outdoor education provider, YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, Facebook Group, and Instagram page. In 2019, OC started the WNY Hiking Challenge to provide the tools, education, and motivation to get people on the trails. Our challenges have raised over $300,000 for local environmental and conservation causes.
Outside Chronicles’s founder, Mike Radomski, is an avid outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking, climbing mountains, paddling whitewater, and fly fishing. Mike became an Adirondack 46er in 2020, a Winter 46er in 2022, the Catskill 3500ers in 2023. He is a New York State Licensed Guide (#8040) and a whitewater raft guide through Zoar Valley, Letchworth State Park, and the Black River. Mike earned a Master’s Degree in Great Lakes Environmental Science and is trained in Wilderness First Aid, CPR/AED, and Swiftwater Rescue L4.
