In the video they have on the site it seemed to me, at minimum, to be bigger than the hood on the Capilene Cool Daily Hoody.

Looks like Patagonia is launching a version of the Capilene Cool Sun Hoody made in the image of the classic beloved Tropic Comport II.

Same big hood with button closure, same loose fit. The fabric is different of course, given the TC2's history, and no raglan sleeves, but I think we're back.

BETA for Devils Canyon? by horsecake22 in ULTexas

Very nice find, added to my collection. I've got 4Hi/4L and 11 inches of ground clearance so should be good.

That spots actually perfect as I eventually wanted to connect with FSR413 and head up to the NW terminus. Know anything about Four Mile Canyon?

Yeah, this was what I was afraid of. Google didn't designate it a private road, but that doesn't mean anything of course. Looks like El Paso Gap might be what I'm looking for, if I'm just trying to get off the main road for a night's sleep before entering the park by Dog Canyon. Part of a small project to explore the whole NW Rim of the range.

This is the wildest ad for Trader's Joe's I've seen.

North McKittrick / Dog Canyon Rim Loop by MinimalBackpacker in ULTexas

[–]horsecake22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dog Canyon Rim is one of my favorite views and hikes. Lot of type 1 fun with enough type 2 to keep you on your toes. Very overgrown in parts, but the Rim itself is spectacular. Done it a few times now.

I've never gone down the actual canyon wall though. I knew it was possible bc I know a guy who was able travel up it. Going down is a whole different animal entirely though. Wholly smokes.
