We opened in 1975 and specialize in gear and clothing for bicycling, backpacking, paddling, climbing, traveling, fly fishing and other outdoor activities. The Pathfinder is located in Downtown Manhattan, Kansas. Our distinctive green awning can be found at 304 Poyntz, just west of the Manhattan Town Center mall.
Exciting new stove system
We were having fun at The Pathfinder this week, playing with the new stove system from Optimus: the Crux Weekend Cook System. If you're looking for an ultralight, small, versatile stove and cookset, this is the best we've seen, and for a great price! We've had the Crux stove for a while, and have always liked its compact size, as it folds up and can fit in the curved cavity under a fuel canister. But the new cookset makes it possible to fit the stove, an 8 oz.

New Versatile Hybrid Bike
We are excited about a new style of hybrid bicycle that defies categorization but meets many people's needs. Specialized calls theirs the Crosstrail (men's) and the Ariel (women's) and says they are "...for riders who want one bike for all terrain." Gary Fisher calls their version the Dual Sport. Fisher says they are "...road bike fast, mountain bike durable. One bike that does it all." We have also heard them called "light 29ers" and "hybrids on steroids," but whatever you want to call them, these 700c wheeled bikes are quite versatile.
