They have an excellent selection of shoes, packs, and all other gear to serve PCT thru-hikers, climbers, and everyone else enjoying the outdoors in their own way. The prices are super reasonable, and the hours are convenient. Ben was extremely helpful in recommending some trail running shoes, getting me outfitted, and giving tips about local trails. It was a busy time when I was shopping and he was super friendly with everyone, making sure they got what they needed whatever their activity. You can also buy your Adventure Pass here to park at trailheads. Make this your first stop when you are scoping out adventures in Idyllwild.

YELP SHORT ANSWER: a great visit, yes if you're out shopping for anything drop in this REI location…read moreand enjoy. LOCATION: simple to find off the 111 in PD and tons of parking usually with a lot of cars. Choose your time. FACILITY: as a long time member, 4 decades, this exterior is nothing special compared to other locations in the PNW but you get to work with what you have when it comes to picking buildings. The interior however is great. Open and easy to find everything. STAFF: as with most of all REI location, the staff are all helpful and knowledgeable about their products. Fern in the cycling department was so incredibly helpful and got my wheels serviced while we shopped for a tent on their Labour Day Sale. Can't say enough good things about our first trip to this new location, other than this was one of the best shopping experiences we've had in this area in a long time. OVERALL VALUE: it is not cheap, never has been but if you're looking for a deal, learn about their sales and how to best use your co-op dollars. REI provides excellent quality items, professional level advice, and a fair price. TIP: ask questions, shop in the store, online, or online at their outlet store. Items can be delivered to the store or to your home.

Sometimes it's intimidating, as a female, to go into serious sporting/outdoors stores because people are often judgey, but this place was SO welcoming and had the best vibes because of these men! 100% this will be my go-to outdoorsy store because of the great customer service! We looked at their binoculars called "nocs," and they were REALLY good quality, and pretty! They came in different color options! I ended up buying 2 pairs, a green and a blue, and I am in love!! I'm going to use them for bird watching. They also sell everything you can imagine for rock climbing, camping, outdoors cooking, maps, and more. Definitely coming back!
