Times They Are A Changin’! (With new features and the latest technology!) Summit Hut has been making some big changes the last few years and this year is no different. Last year we focused on relocating our Northwest store into Oro Valley, on Oracle just north of Ina. (If you have not checked it out yet- you really should- it has a wonderful look and feel and the staff are great!) This year we decided to put our focus on a new and improved website! On November 5th, we launched a new version of SummitHut.com in the interest of bringing you all of the latest gear and clothing to you in the way you wish to shop. We have changed our category and brand pages, added customer account options and implemented faster and easier navigation. With these new updates and faster check-out we hope to be your go-to, online specialists in addition to being your local regional experts! And not all of our efforts this year were web focused, we celebrated our 45 years of business by expanding our free Meet the Experts programs to occur weekly (7pm on Wednesdays at Oro Valley and 11am on Saturdays at Speedway), had our first ever Customer Appreciation event, added Hiking Club Appreciation Nights and just recently hosted our 2nd Annual Gear & Beer Guys Night that served as a fundraiser to the Arizona Trail Association. We continue to look forward to adding more events to our busy schedule (something for everyone!), and pressing forward in bringing you the newest gear and fashion trends. And don’t you worry, next year we will not disappoint as we have some other big changes in the works! Jeremy & Dana Davis at Summit Hut’s Oro Valley location
Warm Wishes, Dana, Jeremy and the Summit Hut Crew

FOCSP were the recipients of one of two 2014 Summit Hut Banff Grants. The funding helped support community based educational programs including the Nature Program at Catalina State Park. Every Saturday throughout the cooler months of the year, volunteers set up aquariums with snakes and critters indigenous to the Sonoran Desert.
