There’s nothing quite like hitting the trail early, breathing in the mountain air, and knowing you’ve got a hot (or iced!) coffee in hand. Whether you're headed into the Adirondacks, strolling a local trail in Saratoga, or road-tripping to explore somewhere new, having the right gear makes all the difference — especially when it comes to fueling the adventure.
