Took the Denali pack to Denali

By Em_Mehlman July 21, 2010

I laughed when I saw this pack on SAC because my boyfriend actually just took this pack to Denali when we backpacked around AK. The description is very accurate, indeed it did fit the bear canister and plenty of extra layers. I was jealous of the rain fly which definitely came in handy! His only complaint was that his hips were sore after our first few trips, but I think that is sorta inevitable.
