We’ve reached another Friday the 13th, and while many are getting their horror movie marathons on, others are making sure not to break any superstitious rules today. For the SI Swimsuit team, we’re using this unofficial holiday to look ahead to the summer season, which is right around the corner, as well as reminisce on warm-weather photo shoots of the past. While many of the magazine’s features are photographed from tropical locations, we’ve also traveled to stunning lakes and national parks.

Friday the 13th means roasting marshmallows, swimming in a lake and sleeping in tents, among other things. Let’s look back at 13 fabulous photos from the SI Swimsuit archives that simply scream rustic warmth and outdoor beauty.
