A cold and overcast morning for some local high de A cold and overcast morning for some local high desert hiking. We took a quick pitstop with few people before taking a hike in a more obscure park corner. The unofficial kick-off for peak season will start in less than a month.

A synthetic outer quilt not only add warmth to a three-season quilt but also helps with condensation issues and protects the inner down layer. Looking forward to using it in colder weather!
