Iceberg Lake or Grinnell Glacier
Only have time for one hike. Which one should I do?
Are FOV tickets more in demand this year?
Seems like it's way harder to get resales this year?
All this new song did is make me listen to Fat of the Land on repeat.
Seriously, I miss the 90s.
Topo Designs Just dropped a collab with Accidentally Wes Anderson!

My Yahn Dawn Predictions
With everything going on the last couple days and the rest lineup announcement I am predicting that Yahn Dawn will have a different format this year.
Pretty Lights will be a solo DJ or a slim downed version of the band and play a shorter (60 to 90 minutes) sets each night.
Supporting acts will play the main stage with a bigger production value.
Late night silent disco will still happen.
What do y’all think?

What Band Should Topo Team Up With Next?
Music runs deep in Topo culture, and we’re always stoked to work with artists and musicians who bring their own rhythm to great gear. Here are a few bands we’ve teamed up with before. Who should we jam with next?
Maple Pass or Cascade Pass
I am visiting North Cascades in early August and only really have time for one major hike. I will be coming from Glacier National Park the week before and wondering which trail would you do if you could only do one?
Ott put on a banger of a show in Boulder on Friday
Posting because he is Tipper adjacent and wow I gained so much love for his music after seeing him live. I also love how cheeky he is and how he likes to talk to the crowd.
Treecycle the opener was amazing too. 10/10 show and it was $35. Good job Boulder Theater.
Women of r/TopoDesigns: what bag should we make next?
Hey everyone, we’re looking at future bag development and would love some honest input from the women in this community.
Topo has always made bags for adventure, travel, work, errands, trail days, and everything in between. But we know “women’s bags” can mean a lot of different things, and we don’t want to just shrink something, change the color, and call it a day. That’s lazy. Also boring.
So we’d love to hear from you:
What types of bags do you wish Topo made specifically with women in mind?
A few things we’re curious about:
- What kind of bag are you missing from your current setup?
- Do you want something for travel, daily carry, work, hiking, gym, parenting, commuting, or something else entirely?
- What features matter most to you? Fit, straps, size, organization, laptop carry, water bottle pockets, security, materials, style?
- Are there bags you love from other brands, and what makes them work so well?
- What should we absolutely avoid?
No wrong answers here. Tiny crossbody? Better tote? More technical daypack? Travel bag that doesn’t feel like a black rectangle with straps? Lay it on us.
We’re here to listen, not pitch. Appreciate any thoughts, hot takes, wish lists, or “please never do this” warnings.
Appreciate y'all
- Mike
