Crag Lake is found a few miles from Lake Tahoe in California, in the Desolation Wilderness area. It is renowned as one of the prettiest camp spots in the entire state, with azure water, forested shores and tiny islands sitting below a fabulous wall of granite known as Crag Peak. Basically, picture the perfect wild camp spot, and this is it. Big Agnes’ new Crag Lake tent would be the perfect shelter to pack in and pitch up. Superlight and simple yet durable enough for three-season camping adventures, it makes an ideal companion for everything from quick overnights to extended backpacking trips. The offset ceiling also gives excellent headroom – ideal for taller campers. Made from recycled materials and treated with a PFC-free water-resistant finish, this dependable shelter is light in terms of its environmental impact, as well as its weight

Big Agnes is a small, independent US outdoor brand out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado – a small ski-town that we’ve never visited but which we like to imagine is full of mountain-loving, trail-hiking outdoorsy types. That would make sense, since the company makes some of the best ultralight backpacking gear around, including the award-winning Copper Spur, Tiger Wall and Fly Creek tents. It is kit that has clearly been designed by a gang of folks who love sleeping in the dirt just as much as we do here at WildBounds.
Oh, and if you’re still wondering where the heck that name Big Agnes comes from, we did try to find out. Depending on who you talk to, it’s either an affectionate tribute to a legendary truck drivin’ mountain mama, or a 12,000 foot peak in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. We kinda like the first one better.
