I can't recommend this place enough! The staff at Backpacker's are amazing and have gotten me through every crazy trip I've come up with- from backpacking and hiking through Norway, trekking the Narrows in Zion, climbing in Joshua Tree, to completing the W trek in Chilean Patagonia. Don't waste your time at the nearby, big chain retailers like Cabella's- the staff here are experts, will really take care of you, and their gear is top of the line and will last from trip to trip.
