Sharing is caring! REI Outlet's Spend More and Save More event is back from 4/24-4/28!We’re all about barefoot and minimalist shoes here at Terradrift. We love them for all seasons: summer, winter, in snow, sun and rain. And while we tend to prefer more breathable barefoot hiking boots when it’s warm, sometimes waterproof barefoot hiking boots are required.

미국 콜로라도 로키산맥 깊은 곳, 폐광촌이 세계적인 환경 연구의 중심지로 자리 잡았다. 크레스티드 뷰트 북쪽에 위치한 고딕(Gothic) 마을은 1870년대 은광촌으로 시작했다. 지금은 로키산맥 생물 연구소(Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, RMBL)의 보금자리다. 은이 고갈되자 광부들은 떠났지만, 이곳에 자리잡은 생태계는 광물보다 귀중한 자원임이 밝혀졌다.
RMBL은 1928년 설립 이후 100년 가까이 운영되고 있다. 지금까지 9000명 이상의 과학자, 학생, 직원들이 이곳에서 연구를 진행했다. 매년 여름 최소 200명의 연구자가 이곳에 머무르고 있다. RMBL은 마멋부터 꽃가루 매개자, 생물 다양성 등 다양한 주제로 논문 2000편 이상을 배출한 공간이다.
이곳은 세계적으로도 손꼽히는 고산 생태 지역이다. 비교적 좁은 면적 안에 여러 다른 생태 기후대(biozone)가 공존한다.

Sharing is caring! Up to 50% off past-season clothing at REIBarefoot hiking boots! We can’t get enough of them here at Terradrift. In fact, we’re at the point where we don’t hike in anything else. But not all barefoot boots are created equal. So we tested two pairs from some of our favorite brands to see how they compared in this Vivobarefoot vs Xero Shoes showdown: The Xero Scrambler Trail Mid WP and the Vivobarefoot Tracker Textile AT.

Sharing is caring! Up to 50% off past-season clothing at REIHiking requires clothing (most of the time, anyway…unless you’re into the whole naked hiking trend, in which case, power to ya). Often, the clothing required is pants. Like when it’s cold or trails are covered in brush that threatens to tear up your legs or when ticks abound. We don’t have to tell you why pants are often necessary when hitting the trail. But the perfect pair of hiking pants can be hard to find.
