We opened in 1993 with a simple purpose:

To provide specialized outdoor apparel and equipment that allowed people in Central Iowa to choose adventures beyond just our beautiful state. It didn’t matter if it was a camping trip along the Mississippi River or trekking in the Himalayas, our knowledgeable staff knew how to connect each customer with the right apparel and gear—and we only brought the best products the industry had to offer.

More than twenty years later, our purpose still holds true. Although times and trends have changed, while the outdoor lifestyle has evolved into an everyday active way of life, we’ve stayed true to our passion for adventure and sharing our experiences with the people in our community. Their stories are our story.
