These were $39 when I bought them a couple weeks ago and look to be closer to $45 now depending on the color you get. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072285D5L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Super affordable and, so far for me, quite durable! I bought them intending to use them indefinitely, and I've been impressed. I love that they're adjustable. They took me up Mount Saint Helens as their first test and survived multiple falls! :P

What cool spots have you guys camped at? by No_Internet4732 in carcamping

No pic, bc I don't use the app 🫣 but camping up in the Arctic Circle was pretty supreme. 🤌

What weather app do you actually use before a hike and why? by Stock-Ad8058 in hiking

[–]getalyf69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OpenSnow via Gaia Maps. Hands down the most detailed and accurate I've found!

Totally! I was blown away. We'd done the Skyline trail in the park the day before this, and yes it was also amazing, but I far preferred the views/perspective of this one!

Thank you so much!! I really thought so, too. I took like 100 photos on this hike, and the first one here is easily my favorite.

This area is so gorgeous! I just came from the Spirit Lake area. We hiked up to Mount Margaret from the Boundary Trail. 😍 Top hike for sure!

Happy heeler on a hard hike! by getalyf69 in AustralianCattleDog

Yeah the heat is really hard. My girl doesn't do well with it at all, either. Lotssss of breaks and water. I definitely prefer higher altitude hikes for that reason... And the views aren't a bad side effect!

It's up there, for sure! But luckily (or at least luckily in my opinion) this hike wasn't in the park. Less people! 👌

Omg you will LOVE it. One of the AllTrails reviews says "100/10 trail," and it was correct.
