Just got these Altra Lone Peaks and had a chance to test them on hikes these last few weekends. Thanks to those that weighed in on this ultralight shoe purchase. Very pleased so far with their performance on the trail.

I was hiking through New York on the Appalachian Trail in August many summers ago and walked through the Bear Mountain Zoo, which coincidentally is the lowest point on the Trail. Had a chance to snap this photo of one of their rescued residents – a classic and actually a black bear although it doesn’t look it.
