happy trails

We've had quite a climb these past four years, and now it's time to enjoy the views. We started as a small brick and mortar dedicated to providing excellent service, quality brands, and an enviable selection of outdoor consignment. With your support, we've grown into so much more than a business, and we will miss you.

We'll miss evaluating your boots that hiked the Grand Canyon; outfitting you for Philmont; and seeing photos of your summit of Katahdin. You baked us zucchini bread; you sent us holiday cards; and you let us pet your adorable pups. You trusted us with your beloved gear; and you outfitted with us instead of the myriad other options down the road or online.

This is not goodbye, but the beginning of another adventure!

Thank you,

The GWG Pack 🐾
