    Camp stoves at high altitude?

    I have used several stoves at the altitude you are going to be at. The ambient temperature is more of an issue for a stove like the jetboil than the altitude. Propane causes the small gas canister to get pretty cold and if your outside temp is cold than the stove wont work so well. This is...

    I have not seen these before, not a bad idea! I have the yakima roof rack that fits the whole bike (no front tire removal) so hoisting the 27 pound mountain bike over your head is a pain. With some different bike trays and that step it might not be too bad. Loveland people, don't you have to...
