Did you know? June is one of the best months of the year for birdwatching in North America. 🔭

Migration has wrapped up and nesting season is in full swing, which means birds are more active, more vocal, and more visible than almost any other time of year. Species that are hard to spot in fall and winter are singing from the treetops right now trying to be noticed.

It's one of those outdoor hobbies that starts as a casual thing and quietly becomes something you do everywhere you go. 🦜

The summit is great. But this moment right here is the whole reason you go. ⛰️

There's something about reaching a hard point together that bonds people in a way that's really hard to replicate anywhere else. No phones. No distractions. Just the mountain, your crew, and that feeling that you actually did it. 🙌

Trekking poles are one of those things people either swear by or never try. Here's the case for trying them. 🥾

The research is pretty clear: poles reduce the impact on your knees by up to 25% on downhill sections, improve your overall balance on technical terrain, and can actually help you move faster with less perceived effort on long days.

They're not just for older hikers or injured hikers. Experienced backpackers and trail runners use them because they work.

June is here and summer trails are calling. Are you actually ready? 🎒⛰️

This is the time of year people realize mid-trip that their gear didn't survive winter storage as well as they thought. A worn-out boot sole, a hydration bladder that needs replacing, a rain layer that's lost its DWR finish.

Better to find that out now than three miles into a trail.

Stop in this week and let's do a quick gear check before your next big outing. Our team knows what the season ahead looks like and we'd love to help you head out prepared and confident. See you soon. 🙌

It starts with “what if we checked out that mountain lake?” then someone says “but there’s no road” and you’re like “who cares, I’ve got an NRS Pulsar Packraft!” 😎 At Alpenglow Mountainsport, we know not every adventure is by the book. Stop by today and let’s think outside the box.

NRS Pulsar

Early morning and late evening are your best windows for fishing this time of year. 🎣

As summer water temps climb, fish move deeper and slower during midday heat and become much more active closer to sunrise and sunset.

The bite is out there. You just have to meet it on its schedule. 🌅

Hello, June! ☀️
