This year, Gregory came out with new additions to its Alpaca Gear Organization Collection, including the 50L Camp Box and Utility Tote. The clear, “smashproof” lid on the Camp Box allows you to see and easily get your hands on the kitchen crockery, dry goods, bottles, paper towels or other camp things you might store in it.

Initially included in Mount Spokane State Parks’ trail plan over a decade ago, and after several summer seasons of build work, the trail wrapped up construction in the late fall of 2024. However, summer is the prime time to visit this lushly forested trail on the southwest side of the park. Start from the quiet Green Bluff entrance where Day Mount Spokane Road dead ends at a park gate.

Back then, it was just the lodge, owned and operated by legend Cricket Butler, who let me stay there for free, sent me out with a bike guide, and subsequently became a friend.
