Wilderness Exchange will swing its doors open on the corner of Platte and 15th Street for
the last time on Sunday, March 29th. For 26 years, we’ve had the privilege and honor of
serving the Denver and Greater Front Range outdoor community. For 26 years, our
customers and our staff have shared so many wild experiences-from our vast backyard
playground at the foot of the Rockies to the ends of the earth. Having adventures-
finding our place under the sun- writing our own epics; it’s a story that has been told and
keeps writing itself in mountain shops- around campfires - from generation to
generation. The wilderness teaches us a timeless lesson that lies at the heart of what it
means to be human and alive. In this sense, Wilderness Exchange has always been
way more than just a shop; it’s been a living and breathing community.
We have always believed in the basic truth that the outdoors belongs to everyone.
We’re proud to have helped to make the outdoors more accessible and affordable for so
many people and to have been a part of their outdoor journey. Denver- it’s been a great
run- this has been a blast. Thank you for being a part of it!
Well, all good things must come to an end. For now, we will continue our mission online
at www.wildernessx.com. We’ll see you on the trail, on the ski hill, at the crags, and
wherever the next adventure takes us. Until then, keep it wild!

owner and founder
