    When does a memorial become trash in a backcountry setting?

    I believe what you saw was in honor of the 10th Mtn Division...once a year they go up and honor them, the large plague on the rock pile is in their honor, not everyone stops and reads it...

    Women's SPECIFIC Gear (Especially Pants)

    I have had the same complaints for years....I have found that Mountain Hardware fits me the best for pants..I'm 5'4" and have a few curves. :o The waist has a way to tighten it and they have ample room in thighs and butt area. I have found they are worth the price for a great fit!
