“Whether you’re on the road or hitting the trails, Nike Zoom Wildhorse 2 offers responsiveness and multidirectional traction to help you push up hills and stabilize on the downhill.”
Looks like the Wildhorse’s will be running the canyons of the Steens this summer.
Slated to be released Fall 2014, campers and staff will get to test these shoes out in the harsh and wild Steens mountains.
Campers from 2013 hike on the perimeter of Wildhorse Lake, the inspiration for the Zoom Wildhorse trail shoe.

“Steens” — A song by two Steens Campers
It’s always a pleasure to hear how Steens has affected campers in a positive way. Sienna and Ruby, from Boise High, were campers Session 2, 2012 and wrote a beautiful song influenced by their experience at camp.
They and their band, Calico the Band, have released this song as well as two others as an EP. Check it out and show them some support. You can purchase the entire EP or just the song “Steens”.
