A free, in-store gear check to get you ready for spring hiking and camping
Spring adventures start long before the trailhead. Join us for Trail Ready: Spring Clinic, a relaxed, in-store event at our Columbia location focused on helping you get your gear and yourself dialed in before the season begins.
Bring the pack you already own. Bring the boots you’re unsure about. Bring the stove that has been sitting in your garage since last summer. Our staff will help you inspect, adjust, and fine-tune your setup so you head into spring confident and comfortable.
No pressure or hard sell. Just solid advice from people who live for this stuff.
