Wildcat Mountaineering opens its doors on Lyons’ Main Street, offering stellar outdoor gear and a vibrant social scene.
CONSIDERED BY MANY AS the Double Gateway to the Rockies, Lyons is a charming, eclectic town perched at the confluence of the North and South Saint Vrain Creeks. Secluded yet centrally located, this burgeoning town is the quintessential destination for a lively, community-oriented outdoor gear shop catering to locals, passersby en route to Rocky, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyone in between.
Wildcat Mountaineering is open for business this summer, inviting like-minded adventurers to congregate, inspire, share stories, and, of course, shop for premium gear and apparel for rock climbing, camping, hiking, mountaineering, skiing and splitboarding, fly fishing, whitewater kayaking, and mountain biking endeavors. Notably, they’re the only gear shop in Colorado to carry highly coveted UnParallel climbing shoes.
“We feel lucky to be a small part of the renaissance,” said Wildcat Mountaineering owner Tony Miller, a Lyons resident, rock climber, and outdoorsman. “Despite the physical upheaval the town has gone through over the years, the community here is stronger than ever.”
