Classic Fall hikes in Telluride region
[click "Play" to listen to Erik and Susan discussing Fall hiking and proper gear]
Erik Dalton, owner of Jagged Edge, grew up in the Telluride region. It's fair to say he is a mountain man with (please forgive the expression) a leg up: owning a store that caters to outdoor adventurers, he not only knows the terrain, he knows what equipment is needed to be comfortable at altitude in this terrain. The following is his short list:
Day pack that can be worn comfortably all day long
At least 3 litres of water
Raincoat, sunhat, sunscreen, chapstick
