Our mission is simple: help people spend less time planning and more time making memories in the places we call home.

Rent the gear. Charish the memories!
We fell in love with year-round adventures in the Sierra Foothills… paddling quiet lakes, hiking wild trails, and snowshoeing through fresh powder. GCR was born from a desire to make outdoor fun easier, more accessible, and just as magical for others.
We keep things simple and intentional. Our gear is high-quality, well cared for, and adventure-ready. Rentals are easy, flexible, and come with local insight, helpful add-ons, and friendly support every step of the way.
Locals looking to explore more & visitors chasing quiet corners of the Foothills. Families, solo adventurers, dog parents, and anyone seeking meaningful time in nature. If you’re craving the outdoors without the hassle, we’re here for you—with well-cared-for gear, helpful guidance, and a little extra magic tucked into every rental.
