Gear We Love in Every Month of the Year

A merino or wicking base, breathable midlayer, and a light, vented shell handle shoulder-season swings. Add a compact puffy, liner gloves, and a wind beanie. Comment with your favorite layer combo for foggy ridges or breezy summits.
Low-cut trail shoes for dry summer, waterproof mids for slush, and microspikes for icy mornings are our dependable choices. We love aggressive lugs, gaiters when needed, and camp socks. What traction saved your day most recently?
A small first-aid kit, headlamp, paper map and compass, repair tape, sun gloves, and a filter are year-round favorites. In cold months, add chemical warmers and a bivy. Share your one surprising item that always earns a place.

Reading the Sky: Trusted Cues

We watch for building cumulus after noon, sudden wind shifts, and lenticular clouds that scream turbulence on exposed ridges. Our favorite move is setting turnaround times early. Drop your proven sky-reading tip for new hikers below.

Navigation Favorites That Never Fail

Map and compass, GPS track as backup, and an altimeter check at passes are our consistent favorites. We mark water sources, bailout routes, and tree-line transitions. Which navigation habit do you practice every single hike?

Cold-Season Safety Staples

We favor conservative avalanche terrain choices, frequent slope-angle checks, and buddy communication every junction. Emergency layers and dry gloves live in a waterproof sack. Tell us your smartest winter safety tweak that changed everything.

Trail Fuel and Warm Drink Favorites

Our warm-weather favorites include a soft flask for quick sips, a two-liter bladder for steady intake, and light electrolyte tabs. We set hourly sip reminders. What hydration routine keeps you smiling on hot, dusty switchbacks?

Trail Fuel and Warm Drink Favorites

Cocoa with a pinch of cayenne, ginger-lemon tea, or miso broth are winter favorites that thaw spirits. We pre-warm bottles and share sips at summits. What steamy brew warms your hands and hikers’ hearts around you?

Stories That Shaped Our Year-Round Favorites

The Spring Creek Crossing Lesson

A swollen creek humbled us into carrying lightweight camp sandals—now a spring favorite. Dry boots after crossings meant warmer toes and bigger smiles. Share the small switch that changed your spring hiking for good.

A Sunrise that Redefined Summer

We started at 2:45 a.m., hit the ridge by first light, and brewed coffee as alpenglow poured over granite. Early starts became a summer favorite. What sunrise spot would you hike sleepy to, again and again?

Winter Glow on a Silent Spur

A moonlit snowshoe revealed fox tracks, frost-crusted pines, and perfect stillness. Microspikes and a thermos rose to winter-favorite status that night. Tell us your quiet winter moment that keeps calling you back.

Your Year-Round Plan: Monthly Favorites to Try

Shoulder-Season Smarts

Our favorites include flexible objectives, earlier turnarounds, and backup trails below snowline. We check trail reports the night before and morning of. Comment with your best shoulder-season pivot that still felt like a win.
