I can't help but share this photo of our tent, along with those of two other couples, from when we hiked a portion of the Teton Crest Trail last summer. This photo is obviously titled, "Trois Tentes, Trois Tetons." (In retrospect should've camped further from the trail, but this site, in Teton National Forest, had been very obviously trampled by many a horse for many seasons). Remarkably resilient tents for an REI product! Looks like their tent lines have evolved pretty significantly in the last decade.
