If you are looking for a shoe that stays true to what it is intended for, then you could never go wrong in a pair of Glycerins. These shoes are built to put many miles on them and a ride that will keep your feet and legs fresh. For those of you that have worn the Glycerin 10, I think you will love the updates and upgrades that have went into the 11.
The Rapid 35 is really a pack designed for winter, but can do so much more. At 35 liters this is a great size for quick overnighters during the summer or for the times that you might need a little more gear during winter snowshoeing. The people at High Peak USA have put some serious thought into this pack.
Lengthening our distance from the first hike of five miles last week, Sam and I talked about hiking Ben Lomond, but decided we weren’t quite ready for 15 miles. We decided to make the hike to Lewis Peak instead, which from the North Ogden Divide and back is somewhere between 10 and 11 miles. I’m a bit unsure, as I didn’t take a GPS unit, and the trail marker signs seem to differ in opinion slightly.
This is a great little hike to a unique waterfall, about 1.5 miles round trip or more if you want to wander upstream further. To get there drive up Big Cottonwood Canyon until you get to the Storm Mountain Picnic area, park directly across the street in a little pull off. There is a large area to park a little further down the road if there is no more room at the pull off. The trail is on your right and is not marked. Just a few yards from the beginning of the trail there is a sign about finding explosives.
When you think of Father’s Day, do you think of socks, belts or ties? Well we didn’t find any ties to include in this gift guide but we did find a some great sock options as well as one belt. I know not all dads would love a new pair of socks but I am pretty confident that most dads would. But we also included some other great items that will help dad play longer and harder in the outdoors.
We always do a couple guides of items that you might not buy for your dad, but you might buy them for your husband or maybe even for yourself. This guide has some great pieces of gear that is sure to please the hardest to buy for dads. A few of the picks in this guide are personally some of my favorite pieces of outdoor gear. I know that I would be happy to recieve anything on this list.
