I realize that there is no replacement for proper hiking shoes, but is there any traction device that you can buy for running shoes that would improve traction while hiking (something like for icy, slippery walks)?

TerminalSaint posted:I much prefer microspikes to yaktrax, myself. It depends on terrain, though. Yaks are fine for flat ice or packed snow, but if you run into ice on any sort of an incline there's no replacement for some form of spikes. I guess the big questions are how hilly your intended trail is, and whether you mind taking the time to remove them when you encounter large patches of bare rock. melon cat fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Jan 19, 2013 |

I'll be day-hiking in Colorado's National parks with my wife in mid-June. We've done hiking trails before, but usually in parks with clearly marked trails and lots of worn paths. Is it overkill to buy a Delorme inReach for this kind of outing? I'm just thinking of an emergency situation. Or maybe we'll get into an argument and she'll march off in a huff, which is basically the same thing.

Alright cool. No Delorme, then. And hopefully the altitude doesn't crush me. Thanks!
