If there was one common thread tying all my lifetime of travels to one another, it would likely be hiking excursions. An interest that can be traced all the way back to my childhood as a young girl living in Texas, a couple of my fondest memories include climbing Enchanted Rock’s steep, smooth walls, and hiking up to gaze out of The Window — a popular scenic lookout at Big Bend National Park.

From summiting Japan’s iconic Mount Fuji to trekking through Madeira’s mystical, ancient Fanal Forest, my love for hiking has taken me across the globe. Now, I stay prepared for hiking opportunities year-round, and one of my favorite ways to do so is by taking advantage of REI’s sweeping sale section. As it turns out, the outdoor authority is celebrating St. Patrick’s Day early with a fresh restock. I’ve already spotted some seriously impressive discounts on hiking boots, athletic clothes, and camping gear — as well as spacious bags to pack all of the above in.

Curious to know what I’ve already earmarked for myself? Keep reading. Ahead are 70 REI deals that made me do a double-take while sifting through hundreds of other discounts. You’ll find camping gear, hiking boots, travel clothes, and more on sale for up to 76 percent off. Happy shopping!
