Murray Selleck, HIKE ROCKY'S equipment specialist wrote this timely and useful article explaining the different types of removable traction devices available, designed to help negotiate trails in Rocky Mountain National Park this time of year. This article is pulled from the February/March edition of HIKE ROCKY magazine.
From the article: "With apologies to Paul Simon, when spring-like weather hits the Rocky Mountains, we are all just “slip-sliding away.” When winter snowfall transitions from fluffy powder to rock hard ice, each step can become treacherous. Freeze-thaw cycles, wind driven spindrift, even solar radiation on cloudy days create the perfect conditions for ice that can send us flying off our feet. Have you tried hiking up an icy trail without weighting your feet? The analogy of walking on egg shells is appropriate, as well. If we’re not careful with every step, ice will send us airborne.
This wouldn’t be so bad except for the inevitable landing. This is where traction devices that you attach to your winter footwear come into play and save the day.
Snowshoes, crampons, spikes, cleats, studs, coils… The choices for traction on your boots are many. Where do you begin? How do you choose? With every piece of equipment or clothing that you choose always begin with your intended use. Will you be using your traction device to negotiate icy sidewalks in town? Are you a runner maintaining your winter fitness running on trails or roads? Or will you be hiking towards the high alpine peaks of RMNP crossing frozen lakes and negotiating your way through iced over boulder fields."

Getting a lil 'Spring Fever'? Want to get out?
The 'Big Box' Stores and Mega On-line stores really do not need your help, but our local businesses do! Unlike the on-line stores, your money stays local! Get out and SHOP LOCAL!
Many of our clients are already carrying our newest product line.. Our Fermented Pepper Sauces! If you have not tried ours yet, you will see the difference fermenting does...
You can find our products at many stores and wineries throughout Colorado?
We also have over 25 stores, wineries and food trucks from Loma to Vail (and even Denver, Boulder & Estes Park with our Chow Chow) that carry our products?
