What a busy summer this is turning out to be (Despite the rain)!  It seems this year we are seeing an almost 20% increase in visitors over last year’s record of 1.6 million visitors.  Amazing.  The downside is crowded beaches and full parking lots.  All you can really do if you want a bit of space to yourself is hit the park mid-week or during the off-season.  All in all though, it’s nice to see so many people taking advantage of the great outdoor attractions our part of the country has to offer!

BTW if you are into hiking, trail running or fastpacking you may be interested in a review I’ve been doing over the last couple months of Montrail’s Sabino Trail Mid GTX shoes.  Put to the test on the rocky trails of Devil’s Lake State Park.   Click here for the full review.
