Stack Height and Heel Drop

Posted: July 10, 2025

More and more when looking at running shoes these days, you’re likely to hear a couple of phrases tossed at you by sales staff that you’re not familiar with. Phrases like “Stack Height” and “Heel Drop”, or just plain old “Drop”.
Well, believe it or not, if any of these words or phrases come to you in the form of a question, don’t panic. They’re not attempting to test your vocabulary skills. No, they’re trying to gain information about aspects of a shoe you’re comfortable with. Aspects you may be looking for. This information will guide them in helping you choose the shoe that’s right for you.
Consider this, when you’re trying on a pair of shoes, you have some features in mind that you’re looking for, albeit “instinctively, that let you know you like the feel of a particular shoe. Usually, so much so, you end up buying the shoe – based on the level of comfort you found in its fit. People who run, or are on their feet a considerable amount of time, often attribute this comfortable fit to a particular brand. Others are inclined to look for shoes that meet their color or style requirements first, then consider which of those fit best. For now, we’re going to concentrate on the former…specifically, the runner.
The sole of a running shoe is constructed with three layers: the INSOLE, the MIDSOLE and the OUTSOLE. The insole is a thin layer of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, or EVA. The midsole is often composed of foam, gel or air pockets providing cushioning by absorbing impact forces. The outsole is typically made of a durable rubber and provided a specific, proprietary tread pattern for traction.

The Stack Height in running shoes refers to the thickness of the Midsole between your foot and the ground, typically measured at two points, under the heel and under the fore foot. A higher stack height provides more cushioning, a lower stack height offers a more connected feeling to the ground. Greater shock absorption is often preferred by long-distance runners, while faster runners more often seek a more responsive shoe and a more natural running gait, both results of the lower stack height.
When you visit ours, or any footwear department, you’ll notice in the Runing Shoe section a wide variety of midsole thicknesses. Some, like Hoka and Topo, are quite thick between the outsole and the upper. They’re considered maximalist shoes or shoes with maximal cushioning. Others, like Altra and Xero have very little midsole showing. They’re considered minimalist shoes. For most shoes, the stack heights are a bit higher under the heel than under the forefoot. It’s not at all unusual to see stack heights listed, such as the Hoka Bondi 9 at 43mm/38mm, meaning 43mm high heel and a 38mm high forefoot. This would be a maximal midsole. Or the Altra Lone Peak 9 at 25mm/23.3, a minimal midsole.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to stack height, it’s completely subjective. Some prefer the higher stack height providing greater cushioning and more shock absorption. Others prefer the lower stack height for more flexibility and more direct ground feel. But in every situation there are always pros and cons. For instance, high stack height may reduce ground feel and impact one’s stability, sometimes making one more prone to twisting an ankle. Lower stack height can lead to increased injury from rough terrain.
When it comes to choosing the shoe that’s right for you, stack height is an important factor, but heel drop is every bit as important of a consideration. Heel drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of a shoe. A higher heel drop means the heel is elevated higher than the forefoot, while a lower heel drop means there’s not much difference between the two…and a Zero Drop means there is no noticeable difference between the two. A higher heel drop encourages a heel strike and can place more stress on the knees and hips, while a lower heel drop promotes a midfoot or forefoot strike and can transfer more stress to the ankles and calves. But, for beginners, it’s best to choose running shoes that are not too flat and not too high.

Pack Goats

Posted: May 9, 2022

Goats have many uses. Some people raise them for milk and cheese, some for hair, some for meat. Some people raise them for the joy of showing them, while others keep them for weed and vegetation mitigation. But as recently as 1982, goats have been given a new assignment…”Beasts of Burden”. That’s right; goats are becoming the new pack animal of choice! Pack goats!

Even though a goat can only carry about 50 pounds, compared to a horse, which can carry up to 200 pounds, goats are herd animals that are easily socialized to people. A well-trained goat doesn’t have to be led, and when grouped, goats naturally establish a lead goat to follow, which they will do, remarkably in the same order each time. They’ll naturally stay grouped together and follow their “human” and they won’t bolt due to the scent of a predator. Compare that to a llama that sometimes needs to be dragged, or a horse that could easily get spooked and run away. They’re perfect for high country trails as their sure-footedness allows them to navigate rougher, steeper terrain than most other domestic animals.

Goats cost less to care for than larger animals, they require less space, and can fit handily in the back of a pickup, so no special trailer is required. When on the trail they consume a wider variety of plant material than larger animals and consume far less water. They’ll follow their “human” with no need of a tether, and they’ll usually stay near camp during the overnight hours. It all sounds pretty good. Right? Well, there is a catch. A well-conditioned goat can only go about 12 miles a day. And, conditioning is key to making that 12 miles a reality. An out-of-shape goat won’t even give you a mile before it’s done.

Training goats as pack animals is a fairly easy process for a patient person. For one thing – it’s nearly impossible to convert an adult goat into a pack goat. You need to start with babies, and you need to plan to bond with them like you would pet dogs. They’re smart and they learn quickly, but the first thing you need to learn is how they like to be loved. Whether it’s a scratching under the chin or long strokes along the back, each goat will let you know what they like best, and that is how you will show it love from then on. Goats absolutely cannot take heavy-handed training. Striking your goat will ultimately result in a goat that will forever be problematic. A loud voice and a squirt bottle will have to be your reprimand. Just a single syllable yell such as “GET” or “HUP” will provide surprisingly satisfying results! Physical aggression toward your goats will erode their trust in you and could cause them to be aggressive toward other humans, so never hit or kick your goats.

As you train your goats you need to teach them to stay behind you. They must learn that you are the alpha and they must stay behind you at all times. The best way to keep a goat from passing you is to use a walking stick. If a goat attempts to pass, simply tap it lightly on the fleshy part of the nose and say “BACK”. It only takes a couple times before they “get it” and listen.

Any gender of goat can be a pack goat, but most people prefer wethers (castrated males). Does work just fine but can’t carry quite the weight of a male, and bucks are only good for part of the year. When they’re in rut they can be unruly as well as smelly. With the right goat and equipment, you and your goats can all look forward to many enjoyable adventures together!

Some public lands require permits for the use of pack goats due to concerns of spreading disease to wild animals such as mountain goats. Photos courtesy of Nathan Blyleven.

Coeur d’Alene Plays Host To Migrating Populations

Posted: October 26, 2021

These beautiful, majestic birds with a wingspan from 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 feet are the picture of strength and freedom. No wonder they were chosen to become our National emblem back in 1782. However in the mid-20th century their very existence was threatened by human activity including hunting, use of the pesticide DDT, loss of habitat, power line electrocutions and other factors. In 1963, there were only about 400 breeding pairs left in the wild. Thanks to protections put in place, bald eagle populations have made a comeback with an estimated 9,800 breeding pairs today.

Eagles that travel from their nesting ranges further north to winter at Lake Coeur d’Alene feast primarily on spawning kokanee salmon. Early morning is the best time to see them feeding as they splash down and snatch their meal. After feeding, the rest of their day is spent mainly perching in taller open trees and snags, descending occasionally for a tasty salmon snack. On windy days especially, you can see them soaring effortlessly on the wind currents. Capable of reaching altitudes of 10,000 feet they can soar continuously for hours at a time.

Some of the eagles you are likely to see may not sport the iconic white head of the adult bald eagle. They go from mostly brown through several phases before attaining their distinct adult plumage around their fifth year. Both male and female adults have the white head on reaching adulthood. Females are bigger than the males.

The eagles are sensitive to disturbance by humans. With that in mind, visitors are asked to always keep their distance, ideally viewing the eagles from the BLM boat ramp or the Mineral Ridge Trail Head. By all means, bring your spotting scope or binoculars to ‘get up close’ to these winter visitors who provide such a spectacular wild spectacle to those of us lucky enough to be able to view these magnificent creatures.

Kayaking is An Incredible Sport

Posted: May 5, 2021

Lake kayaking is an incredible sport that seems to be growing in popularity throughout the northwest, and, why not?? We’re blessed with a variety of lakes ranging from very small to quite vast, most of them are very beautiful, and as it turns out, we have a lot of them. Kayaking offers outdoor enthusiasts the chance to get up close and personal with these bodies of water in a way they may never have considered. Kayaking allows the on-the-water experience to become intimate for the paddler. One’s head and upper body in close proximity to the water’s surface as they glide across it. One becomes immediately aware of the quiet being broken only by the soft sound of the paddle entering and exiting the water, the subtle buzz and chirp that’s ever present in the outdoors during the warm months, and the smell of the moist freshness provided by that water below. Suddenly; you realize a sense of freedom and a oneness with your surroundings.

Besides benefiting your mental health, there are a variety of physical benefits to kayaking, too, such as increased upper body strength, more toned legs, and a strengthened core. It’s a great overall workout that combines cardio with a sort of “resistance training”. It’s so darn fun to paddle, you never even realize you’re getting a great workout!

My kayak is an 11-foot Dagger Zydeco. The length is great for speed and handling so it’s easy to get from Point A to Point B quickly and efficiently. Once I jump in, I head directly toward the center of the body of water I’m on. I like to get out there and just stop. I like to take in the 360° view and enjoy the sound of the quiet. Once I’ve savored that experience for a while I’ll look for something to pique my interest, then I’ll take off toward it. On a gorgeous day it’s easy to find myself paddling and paddling for hours on end; which brings to mind a few items you want to always have with you in your kayak.

A brimmed hat would normally be Number 1, but the truth is Number 1 and Number 2 are legally required on most, if not all, bodies of water. They are a life jacket (or Personal Floatation Device) and a horn or whistle. The reasons are obvious. So; we’ll make a brimmed hat Number 3. It doesn’t take long on a beautiful sunny day to fry your nose and ears when you’re out on the water. There are a lot of good nylon hats available that are well-made and affordable, and nylon brimmed hats rarely sink. If your hat were to blow off your head into the water, you should be able to retrieve it without losing it to the depths.

I love the water. I love swimming, I love boating, I love skiing, I love rafting, and I really love kayaking. I would recommend to anyone to give kayaking a try. It’s a great way to paddle away your cares and be one with nature.

Waking Up To The Cross-Country Experience

Posted: January 11, 2021

I am not a runner. I’m familiar with the sport…and I know people who run. In fact, I’ve attempted to adopt a running routine a few times in my life. But it was those few earnest attempts that helped me solidify my commitment to the idea – I am not a runner.

So; imagine my surprise when some friends talked me into going cross-country skiing for the first time in my life. I’m not sure how it happened, but somehow, an innocent conversation took a turn in the direction of cross-country skiing and before I knew it someone recommended we all go! Sure enough, there it was; and to make matters worse, someone had an extra set of skis and an extra set of ski boots that just happened to be my size. There was no way around it – I was going cross-country skiing.

I’ve been a downhill skier for most of my life, and I can honestly say I have never spent a moment regretting any of my experiences on the slopes. But here’s the thing – you’re on a slope. You could essentially just “stand there” on your skis and you’ll slide down a hill. Cross-country skiing is done on a more flat surface, so in order to move forward YOU have to make that happen. If you encounter the rise and fall of rolling terrain – you can slide down one side, but you still have to get yourself up the other, and just thinking about that part was exhausting.

Much like downhill skis, cross-country ski equipment includes two skis, each with its own binding, a pair of sport-specific boots and a pair of poles. The skis are somewhat longer than one might wear for downhill, they have a narrower profile and the bottoms are “scaled”, textured one direction, so you can slide forward (ski) when possible, but you won’t slide backward. The scales provide traction so you can propel yourself when necessary. Cross-country skis are also very lightweight so they’re barely noticeable, provided you’re moving forward. It’s those moments when you’re not moving forward, and you feel compelled to turn to the right or left, that they become VERY noticeable.

The bindings are not at all like downhill bindings. Instead of the sole of the boot being firmly, flatly clamped to the ski, effectively making the ski a static extension of the sole; the cross-country binding is hinged and connects only to the toe of the boot allowing the heel of the boot to raise and lower, much resembling the motion of how you might walk or run. Working in concert with one’s poles, the idea is to push forward with one ski while sliding forward on the other; the hinged binding allows the “push” foot to raise and bend naturally and comfortably.

We all met at my home on a crisp Saturday morning. Being a country-dweller, it seemed like the obvious choice to me, we would just step out the front door, throw on our skis and away we’d go! I went inside to put on the borrowed boots then stepped back out and right into the borrowed skis. Cross-country ski boots are absolutely nothing like downhill boots. By comparison they’re exceptionally comfortable and in no way impede ankle movement. They slip on simply and quickly, like a pair of funny-looking hiking boots, and they lock into the bindings on the skis just as quickly and easily. Before we knew it the four of us were off on what would be for me a life-changing adventure.

Now, to be clear, I am not averse to exercise. I think quite simply I just didn’t care for running. It’s not just the motion and the elevated heart rate! There’s the pounding of feet on the hard surface in what might not be the best footwear for the experience. There’s the ridiculously early hour of the day you have to go out and do it to avoid being seen by people who actually do it because they like it (they usually like to do it later in the day). Within moments of taking off from my front yard I had found the rhythm. It’s that thing you achieve when your skis and your legs and your poles and your arms all suddenly start working together in a beautifully synchronized dance. You’re kicking and reaching, blissfully unaware of your increased respiration or your elevated heart rate. You’re completely involved in the sound of the wonderful quiet that wraps itself all around the sound of your skis as they glide across the snow. It’s that same amazing peace that sweeps over you when riding a chairlift on a crisp, calm, sunny day in January; flying quietly through the air surrounded by Nature’s glory.

For me – there’s nothing like it. Nothing. Well, maybe inline skating. But, only kind of. Skating requires asphalt. For cross-country skiing, anything that resembles a snowy trail will do. Country roads, logging roads, linear parks, even golf courses can make great places to ski. Just remember to carry a backpack, stay hydrated and layer your apparel. And always, always be respectful of nature.

The Right Thing To Do

The Right Thing to Do

Crown Enterprises found a simple way to thrive during the pandemic. The shop puts employees, community and customers first.

By Eugene Buchanan

Want to know what it takes to not only survive, but thrive in today’s COVID-19-crushed retail world? Take a lesson from Joe Power, president of employee-owned Crown Enterprises, which operates five outdoor retail store across Montana, Idaho and Washington.

Spoiler alert: The answer involves compassion, customers and employees. And the result has been serendipitous; after re-opening, Crown has seen products flying off the shelves.

“Now that we’re all open again, our revenues are up 10% for the year,” says Power, adding hot-selling categories include bikes, paddlesports, guns, camping and fishing, with footwear, casualwear and apparel also doing well. There have also been a few surprises, he adds. The stores have sold more trampolines this year than in the past ten years combined, with golf up 80% and running up 100%. And much of this stems from forsaking the bottom line.

A week before authorities requested, Power took the liberty of closing his stores early. “It was the right thing to do,” he says. “People weren’t really understanding social distancing, and you could see the uncertainty in our employees’ eyes. It just wasn’t right to make them come in.”

Even after friend and Kalispell, Montana, Mayor Mark Johnson reminded him he didn’t have to close, as his stores were “essential businesses,” Power felt it was more important to protect his employees than make money. “We put health before wealth,” he says. “Our bank is local, and before we even knew about PPP, we knew everyone would be understanding if we didn’t have the best year.”

In all, four stores were closed for five weeks and one for 10 weeks. Rather than lay them off, throughout it all, Power continued paying the stores’ 210 employees. “I was really worried about people’s health insurance,” he says.

“It’s a great example of a business making decisions based on what’s best for their employees,” says Johnson. “He’s a great partner to have in the community – especially during these times.”

Then Power took it a step further. As more closures came on line and grocery stores became barren, he woke up from a 2a.m. nightmare worried about people’s ability to procure food. So he took $25,000 worth of backpacking and camping meals from his inventory and had his staff donate them to local food banks of their choice.

“Everyone we knew in the service industry was out of work and likely needing food,” he says, adding the gesture helped lift the spirits of his team. “It gave our employees something different and positive to focus on.”

When the stores reopened, the favors were returned – sales increased despite a lack of visitors from Canada, which typically represents 25% of its business.

“We have great customers who are really loyal to us, and I think this strengthened that even more,” says Power, who made his own pact to eat and shop locally as much as he could during the shutdown.

He also credits the uptick to people wanting to get outside. “Instead of spending money at the movie theater, people are applying that to a new trampoline,” he says. While he admits it’s tough to refill the shelves and procure products from vendors, when a shipment of 36 kayaks arrived, two went right to the register, never even making it to the wall.

Power’s altruism continued even after reopening. Unable to run the annual Ladies’ night events benefitting local domestic violence shelters, he picked a Saturday to donate $5 from every pair of shoes sold to local programs in an effort to “Stomp Out Domestic Violence”. “It was our way to make up for it,” he says, adding the effort raised more than $2,500.

All this has also boosted sales and his employees’ morale – and given his stores a chance to enhance their relationships with their customers. “Opening back up and doing the right thing gives you a second chance to make a first impression,” he says. “Everyone’s looking at how well we’re behaving and judging us all over again, whether it’s wearing masks or distancing. It’s a great chance for us to step it up.”

Product Spotlight – The Garmin Instinct

Posted: January 20, 2020

The Garmin Instinct hits the sweet spot for both features and price. It offers a number of practical outdoor and sports features that’ll certainly keep outdoor adventurers happy, yet sports a price tag that won’t give you pause.

First and foremost; the Instinct is an outdoor watch. It’s quite durable – it features a fiber-reinforced polymer casing that is highly resistant to scratching and is worn on a soft silicone band making the 1.8-ounce Instinct comfortable to wear both day and night. The monochrome display is easy to read and features two customizable windows allowing you to view the information of your choosing.

As the instinct is a Garmin® product, it should come as no surprise that it’s loaded with tracking and navigation features; however it lacks onboard topo maps which are not compatible with the non-color display. But, for that which it lacks – it more than makes up! It supports GPS, GLONASS and Galileo and will connect quickly with these satellite systems, keeping you more than covered, navigationally speaking.

If you’re an avid activity tracker, the Instinct has over 25 different activities that you can track from running to swimming to rowing. During the activity you’re engaged in you can scroll through different data screens designed for the activity. Enhanced optical heart rate¹ technology gauges the intensity of your fitness activities. Heart rate variability is even used to calculate your stress level score, so you can see if you’re having a calm, balanced or stressful day.

And, speaking of tracking, you can pair your Instinct with your dog tracking devices to receive dog status updates and alerts right on your wrist!

Priced at just under $300, the Garmin Instinct is a great-looking, affordable outdoor-focused watch with many of the features found in more expensive outdoor activity watches.

Amazing New Go Pro Hero 5 Has Arrived!!

GoPro HERO 5 Black

The HERO 5 Black has a 2-inch touch display to simplify the controls of the camera, but it all begins with a one-button control to power on the camera to start recording automatically. Once it is on, you can capture videos with resolutions up to 4K at 30 frames per second and professional still images of 12 MP with enhanced low-light performance on RAW and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) formats.

Voice control has been added to further simplify the use of different functions.

So whether you speak English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Chinese (with more languages on the way), voice control should understand you.

My name is Briana Bradley and I was hired on at Tri-State Outfitters in Moscow, ID as a cashier back in August 2014. After 6 months I transferred into the clothing department and have loved it ever since! Tri-State outfitters has been an awesome home and extended family to me for almost 2 years! Not only is it a great place to work but it fuels my adventures. I get to learn about amazing products while at work and wonderful places to explore from customers that I help.

Just like our store, my hobbies are a mixture of everything. During the summer months I love to go hiking wherever there’s a trail, mountain biking (especially on the Hiawatha trail), kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding on the Snake river. Road trips are a weekly endeavor and the Pacific Northwest is my playground.

As far as my favorite products to use on my adventures go, that’s a long list! So some of my favorites are Osprey packs. I have two packs myself and have bought two for my boyfriend because I want to “share the love”. Ahnu is my go-to hiking boot brand because they’re light-weight and feel like they were made for my feet. Prana has the best hiking pants hands-down and my goal is to own them in every color! Last but not least is Arc’teryx for outerwear! I got to visit the factory store in Vancouver which makes me proud that I understand the hard work that went into the jackets that I own and love.

Employee Spotlight: Tige Arnold

Posted: April 1, 2016

I’ve been working at Tri-State Outfitters full-time in the shoe department for over 6 years. I worked full-time at the store during the summers in Receiving at age 15 until age 17 and then full-time in the Shoe Department from 1991 until 1992. In 1993 I joined the U.S. Army and served 3 years at Fort Carson, Colorado. After my honorable discharge I became a Footwear Department Head for two years at Gart Sports in Colorado Springs, Colorado while I finished my Associates of Applied Science in Architectural and Structural Drafting from Denver Technical College. I spent the next 16 years in the architectural industry, after which I returned to Moscow, Idaho to work in the Shoe Department here at Tri-State. Of all the jobs I have worked in my lifetime, this position has been the most fun and rewarding.

I have fallen in love with my hometown now once again, and now enjoy the outdoors the area has to offer even more than in the past. My favorite things to do in this area are mountain biking, trail running and hiking, backpacking, hunting and fishing.

Here’s recent review we received about Tige:

“We finally purchased a sports shoe with Tige… what a phenomenal guy!!! He knows his products well…. he could sell us the whole store!! On a serious note, he really does know his shoe product really well and other products in the store.. from the form fitting to the way one’s feet walk (supination, pronation, overpronation, underpronation… bla bla bla)… he knows what shoes to recommend and why. He is very good with customers in the way he conduct himself very professionally, with confidence, I appreciate how he treated my boyfriend and me, even though I was there for my boyfriend. Tige is excellent when it comes to customer service.”

K2 Pinnacle Skis Have Arrived!

Posted: November 20, 2015

The most exciting skis in the Industry have finally landed at our Coeur d’Alene store!

The K2 Men’s Pinnacle ski is a light weight, all-mountain machine, stock with new technology and engineering straight from the brilliant mind of Spock at K2. These babies feature All-Terrain Rocker, an elevated tip for variable and soft snow performance, as well as camber underfoot for power, energy, and edge-hold in firmer conditions. Simply put, All-Terrain Rocker offers versatility and ease in all snow conditions.

Having won several industry awards this season, this one-ski quiver performs like the humvee of skis, looks awesome, and is available in these waist widths: 95, 105, or 118. The Pinnacle 118, Seth Morrison’s pro model, has been updated with K2 Konic Technology and is suited to slay soft, deep snow. Take your pick. Any way you choose you’re going to love them.

The Pinnacle is available to demo this season at our Coeur d’Alene store. Stop and find out for yourself what makes these sticks so rad.

GoPro Hero4 Session Has Arrived

Posted: July 24, 2015

“HERO4 Session packs the power of GoPro into our smallest, lightest, most convenient camera yet, featuring a rugged and waterproof design, easy one-button control, 1080p60 video and 8MP photos.” – See more at: GoPro.com

By now you’ve probably heard about the latest addition to the GoPro family: The Hero4 Session. We’re stoked to say that it has arrived at our Moscow, ID location. So what’s the big deal about it? Let’s take a look at some of its key features:

First of All, It’s a Little Guy.

According to GoPro, the Session is “50% smaller and 40% lighter than other HERO4 cameras.” Which makes it’s easier to mount, and GoPro doesn’t skimp on the mounts and accessories. The sky’s the limit when it comes to mounting options.

But just because it’s little doesn’t mean it’s not powerful. On the contrary. Here’s some of it’s best features:

High-resolution 1440p30 and 1080p60 video
High frame rate of 720p100 video enables smooth slow-motion playback
Capture 8MP single photos, Time Lapse photos at set intervals from 0.5 to 60 seconds, and Burst photos at 10 frames per second
Rugged and waterproof to 33’ (10m), eliminating the need for a separate housing
Easy one-button control
Features SuperView™, a GoPro-exclusive video mode that captures the world’s most immersive wide-angle field of view
Dual mic system -When you’re filming in windy conditions the camera automatically switches to the mic that’s best-suited for capturing optimal audio
Built-in battery
When the camera is mounted upside down, Auto Image Rotation automatically adjusts the capture orientation to right-side up so there’s no need to flip your footage in post-production

Check one out for yourself at our Moscow location or find out more at GoPro.com.

Name: Kerry Lockhart

Years working at Tri-State Outfitters: 4 months.

Tri-State Outfitters Store: Lewiston

Position at Tri-State Outfitters: Sporting Goods

Favorite outdoor activities: Shooting, Hunting, and Fishing.

Favorite places to recreate: I’ve been hunting in Eastern Washington for years – favorite spot is in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Mostly hunt deer and elk, although I love to hunt just about anything. Favorite fishing spots are the Snake and Clearwater Rivers.

Favorite product to use in the field: I love my Browning shotguns and Tikka 270WSM rifle. I’ve got a pretty good gun collection so I like to mix it up a bit – probably shot the most game with my old trusty Ruger 77 300WinMag. Gotta go with Sitka for hunting clothing – expensive but worth every penny. As far as fishing, just got a jet boat so I’m looking forward to learning the rivers and getting better at steelhead fishing. Great camping up the Snake in Hells Canyon, so that’s on the short list once I’ve learned how to run the rapids on the way up. My favorite rod/reel combo is my St. Croix spinning rod with a Penn Battle reel, but I just set up a new steelhead rig with a Rogue rod and Shimano baitcaster that I’m itching to try on later this summer.

Posted: May 14, 2015

My name is Carla Grieser

I have been working at Tri-State Outfitter for 18 years. I started in our Lewiston store where I worked in the shoe department. I then transferred to the Coeur d’Alene store in 1997 and became the Assistant Manager and Clothing Manager.

carla2-spotlight I was born and raised in North Idaho on the St. Joe River. I grew up fishing, hiking, hunting, and living the good life. My activities include hiking, especially in the Selkirk Mountains, hunting on the St. Joe, fishing in high mountain streams, huckleberry picking in the summer, and any road trip where I get to see any beautiful mountain ranges, the beauty of America, and snowshoeing in the winter months. When I am not in the great outdoors I am gardening, landscaping, and enjoy being with my friends.

My favorite product that I use is my Salomon Quest 4D hiking boots. Without them my feet would not have been as happy taking me to as many beautiful high mountain lakes or on as many hunting trips.

Employee Spotlight: Stephanie

Posted: April 1, 2015

My name is Stephanie Wakefield. I’ve worked in the shoe department in the Lewiston store for six and a half years. I love my job and enjoy fitting the right shoe with the right person. Being a department manager I am very passionate about customer service and the product we carry. I love my co-workers and everything Tri-State Outfitters stands for!

One thing about me is that I love to be with family, whether it be at barbecues or camping. I enjoy spending time with my daughter and long-time boyfriend. We delight in teaching her about the outdoors. We’re avid snowmobilers and Harley riders that like to camp, fish, and shoot guns whenever we get the chance.

One of the perks of living in Lewiston is that you’re in close range of many prime camping/snowmobiling areas like Waha, Elk River, and the Blues. A good long day trip on the bike is riding through Orofino and up through Pierce and back.

One of my favorite products from Tri-State Outfitters is my Omni Heat base layers by Columbia Sportswear that keep me warm without getting too hot. I also recommend Buff rags for the bike. They help me have “perfect hair every time!”

Employee Spotlight: Marshall

Posted: February 16, 2015

My name is Marshall Barnhouse

I started working at Tri-State Outfitters in Coeur d’Alene in July 2011, so little over 3 years now. I am currently a sales associate, with extensive knowledge in footwear and snowboarding. I was born and raised in North Idaho, so anything you can think of, I’ve done. Last year, I completed my first Tough Mudder event. I also enjoy shreddin some pow, mountain biking, crackin’ cold ones, and trail running.

Some of my personal favorite spots to enjoy the outdoors around Coeur d’Alene include, Lake Pend ‘Oreille (specifically Buttonhook Bay), Farragut State Park (for their trails), and Schweitzer Mountain. Best thing to do is go exploring; drive some dirt roads, hike some woods, you’ll never get bored in Idaho.

* Marshall will be leaving the company late February 2015 to trek into new adventures in Colorado. It’s been a great ride, Marshall. Come back and visit soon.

Employee Spotlight: Randy

Posted: January 31, 2015

My name is Randy Richards, but everyone who knows me from the softball world knows me as “Beetlejuice”. We won’t get into the reason here.

As of May 20th, 2015 I will have been with Tri-State Outfitters for 15 years. I am the Sporting Goods Department Manager/Shift Manager of the Coeur d’Alene Tri State Outfitters store.
As for my favorite outdoor activities, there are very few things that can be done outdoors that I don’t enjoy. Having been born and raised here in Coeur d’Alene, I have spent my whole life participating in outdoor sports. From skiing, hunting, and snow shoeing in the winter months, to boating, kayaking, hiking, camping, and fishing in the summer months. I would much rather be in the great outdoors than doing anything under a roof.

My wife Pam and I enjoy taking the grand kids with us to teach them the joys of being outdoors, and to show them how blessed they are to live in an area as beautiful as Coeur d’Alene, where one can drive less than an hour any direction and find yourself wading into a river or carving through some fresh powder. I have gotten to be an avid outdoor photographer, and you can’t ask for a better area for a hobby such as that.

randy-fly-fishing-web — Fly Fishing in August on the North Fork of the Coeur d’ Alene River.

Picking any one area that we like to go to more than any other is tough. All of the local ski areas offer great skiing, and I like being able to spend time at all of them. I spend most of my time on Coeur d’Alene Lake mainly because it’s close to home, but I love the peaceful beauty of boating on Pend O’Reille Lake. As for my favorite hiking areas, my wife and I try to map out any areas in Idaho that have waterfalls, and hike in to those. There’s just something ultra majestic about a waterfall.

Stop by and visit Randy at our Coeur d’Alene location anytime!

Take A Hike: Crystal Lake

Posted: August 5, 2014

Hidden away in the mountains just outside St. Maries, Idaho is Crystal Lake. The clear water gathers at the top of a valley where boulder strewn ridges coalesce together and keep the lake secret on all sides but one. Getting into this mountain lake is a kind of choose your own adventure hike. Starting from just below the summit of nearby Mt. Baldy, hike straight up to the ridge tops where you’ll be afforded a view of the lake and valley, stretching out before you like a giant hippodrome. Farther down the valley you’ll find the true trailhead, and a path into the lake winding across slides of rock and giant boulders. Panoramic views of the valley below line the entirety of this trail. The trail here is short, only a few miles in length, but there is a lot of hiking to do in exploration of the lake itself, mountain forests and imposing ridges that make up the entirety of Crystal Lake’s experience.

Directions: Trail head is about 54 miles southeast of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Take US-90 east from Coeur d’Alene for 25 miles to the Cataldo exit (exit 40) then south on Latour Cr./Rochat Divide Road for 29 miles. There are no fees.

Location: 10 miles NE of St. Maries, ID

Nearby City: St. Maries, Idaho

Hike Length: About 3 miles round trip

Difficulty: Moderate

Take A Hike: Indian Cliffs Trail

Posted: July 15, 2014

Indian Cliffs Overlooking Chatcolet Lake

The Indian Cliffs trail is only a small part of what Heyburn State Park has to offer, but definitely worth the hour it takes to make the three mile loop. This hike requires little more than a good size water bottle or hydration pack, but rewards your efforts with a fantastic vista that serves a summary of what Heyburn has to offer. The 72 mile long Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes hugs the lakeshore just behind the pines. Campgrounds, boat launches, and the Rocky Point beach are all easily mapped from this vantage point. The topography of the shadowy St. Joe River, the highest navigable river in the world, can be seen for miles in the distance. This panorama rotates away as the second half of the trail walks you across ridge top meadows, before inevitably cutting back down the mountainside, ending where it started. This small trail packs a big punch and is worth a visit by itself, or as part of a larger day of exploration throughout the parks many gems.

Location: Heyburn State Park

Nearby City: Coeur d’Alene

Hike Length: 3 total miles

Duration: 1 hour

Difficulty: Moderate

Take A Hike: Palouse Falls

Posted: July 1, 2014

Few sights in nature overwhelm like crashing rivers and cascading waterfalls. In time, even hardened basalt must begrudge the river its course. Palouse Falls bears testament to the fact that the river, always patient, never ceasing, wins out in the end. The Palouse River has cut its path through the gentle slopes of one of the world’s most fertile farming regions. Only a few hours’ drive from the Moscow/Pullman city centers, this small park offers easy drive-up viewing and pleasurable day hiking for those who feel inclined to wander. Watch the show from above a naturally formed Coliseum, or hike your way down and take center stage next to and atop the powerful falls. Acrophobia sufferers beware! 100 foot rock walls buttress the quick flowing river on each side. Keep to the canyon edge and you can look down on the exposed history of the Columbia River Basin, with its layers of ancient basaltic flows and giant rock slides climbing impossibly up the canyon walls. Expect the company of hawks making forays into the canyon, and prairie dogs checking in on you from between the rocky crags. For a quick visit and a little light hiking, Palouse Falls is a great place to start.

Park Hours: Summer: 6:30 a.m. to dusk

Camping:
Check-in time, 2:30 p.m.
Check-out time, 1 p.m.
Quiet hours: 10 p.m. to 6:30

Hike Length: 2 miles roundtrip to falls and back to parking lot

Difficulty: Moderate

This is a state park and has a day use fee of $10.
