The Magnificent Crater Lake National Park

Before August of this year, I had not known much about Crater Lake National Park. Actually, It was barely on my radar at all, that was until a suggestion from Outdoor Informer's Jason Renda turned me on to the idea. I had just come off a two day stay on Washington's coveted Mount Rainier and needed some down time after a successful summit bid. With Mount Shasta in Northern California on my month-long cross country warpath, Crater lake made perfect sense.

Gearhead: Suunto Core Wrist-Top Computer Watch

If you're an outdoorsman, and like myself have a thing for analytics, then having a reliable watch is important. From keeping time, to tracking elevation and barometric pressure, the wrist watches of today are more computer than time piece.
