The rain starts just as you reach mile three of the Appalachian Trail, and your cotton t-shirt is already soaked through. This is exactly why seasoned hikers make Highland Hiker their first stop before any mountain adventure.

Whether you’re planning a sunrise assault on Whiteside Mountain, outfitting for international travel, or selecting stylish mountain-to-town pieces, Highland Hiker’s seasoned team knows exactly which pack won’t destroy your shoulders and which fly patterns the brook trout are hitting this week. When adventure calls, Highland Hiker answers with gear, style, and wisdom.
