I love this REI. We go here all the time and hit the sales racks first for great bargains on all the best yoga and hiking gear at deep discounts. Even boots and runners shoes. But if you want an experts opinion on camping, hiking, outdoor equipment, bikes, etc, this is the place. My favorite REI expert is Al in the Shoe area. He has been there for years and is an avid hiker/runner outdoorsman. He is my go to guy for everything. If you like the store become a member with a one time membership fee you will get a 20 percent off card once a year and 10 percent of what you spent for the year back. Well worth the one time fee!
