For much of the country, summer is already in full stride. For the rest, it’s only days away from finally winning its annual tug-of-war with spring.
Then suddenly, the season takes hold completely.
Trailhead parking lots fill before sunrise. Daylight stretches luxuriously past dinner. Respectable adults everywhere develop urgent afternoon “appointments” involving trail shoes and overloaded daypacks. Trail maps are studied over bags of trail mix with all the seriousness of a Himalayan expedition… or, more likely these days, squinting at a map route on the phone screen with 3% battery remaining. Naturally, this is the exact moment one realizes their gear has seen things. Hard things.
Fortunately, Memorial Day has arrived with exceptional deals worthy of the adventures ahead. Whether your plans involve fast miles on rugged trails, long alpine rambles, or heart-pounding Nordic Walking sessions beneath endless evening light, now is the time to equip yourself properly. But do not linger. These offers disappear at midnight on Tuesday, May 26th… vanishing into the night like Cinderella’s carriage, leaving behind only memories and full-priced regret.
