When do aspens usually reach peak fall color in the San Juan Mountains? I know it will be in September, but I've heard it's earlier than most other CO mountain ranges due to the higher altitude. ...

There is a 50 percent chance of rain or snow this Saturday, October 27 in the Mt. Elbert area. Getting a hitch from the Mt. Elbert parking lot, say to Buena Vista, is supposed to be easy on a typical...

I'm looking at these pads and would like your comments.

NeoAir XTherm.

1. My first question is about the "crinkling" noise that some people have reported with NeoAir mats. Is the current...

Which 14ers are most accessible from the CT? Non-technical.

Also, of those not too far from the trail, which are your favorite?

GoLite was willing to repair the pack, but the turnaround time was 4-6 weeks. So I found a local seamstress who handles leather and other heavy materials, and she did a great job attaching the...

I bought a GoLite Odyssey a couple years ago but have never used it. My main pack is a ULA Expedition that I've had for years, and it's bulletproof.

For a coming winter trip, I thought I'd use...

Thanks for the legal warnings, counsel.

Please keep future replies on point. Thanks.

I'm sure this has been mentioned several times already, but I don't have the time to search for it. So if someone could give me a quick answer:

How badly have the hemlocks been affected by the woolly adeligid? I was reading a book published in 2008, that said there are only a few healthy hemlocks left in the GSMNP. What are your...

Any snow at all, at the higher elevations of the southern AT?

Tell me which gloves you like for winter conditions on the middle-lower AT. Snowy conditions and temps maybe down to single digits.

I lost my other pair (forget the name) and there are so many...

That's it. Thanks.

Where can I order reflective food bag line (rope)? Had some but lost it. It was orange, lightweight, and would glow like blazes when my headlamp hit it at night.

Any update on what happened to these folks? I'm reading the Barefoot Sisters book Southbound, when they hiked with them in 2000-01.

Are these good poles?

I had Gossamer Gear one-piece carbon fiber poles. One of them broke when I put just a little weight on it, on my second day out. Just leaned on it a little while taking a rest stop, and it snapped...

How are the fall colors coming along this year on the trail, or has the rain and warm weather fooled them into thinking it's still summer?

What's the current situation?

What about it's suspension? Would it be comfortable at around 40 lbs. total?

What I like about ULA is the suspension system, but even the Catalyst is too small for a true winter load w/7+ days...
