Lumpy drove my other half and I to Elk Garden to drop off our car, then drove us to Fox Creek where he suggested we start our AT Hike. He was genuinely kind and entertained us with his stories and information of the AT. Anyone in need of a shuttle, Lumpy is your man! We couldn’t have had a better experience :)

If you haven't been to Mt. Rogers Outfitters yet, GO!!! Lumpy is not only a super genuine, nice guy, he also has anything you may need in regards to the great outdoors. If you are looking to hike the trails or just need a little extra stability to walk around town, he has you covered.

We always stop in when we're in town for trail runs. Fantastic selection of gear and goodies. Staff is super helpful.

I've been shopping here off and on for years. Lumpy is a great person who knows his stuff. Also, it's a great price. He will hook you up with any gear, Q&A, or advice needed. Also, he has been area forever and knows the trails.

One of the Great Outfitters on the Appalachian Trail. Lumpy takes the time to fit your pack correctly and help you understand your gear. This is the place to get ready for your Thru Hike. AT -15 BMT- 17

I used the shuttle service to do a section hike on the AT. Lumpy was very friendly and helpful. Great store with a large selection of hiker gear to meet any need.

True hiker/backpacker shop. Best one in town.

The owner got angry with me. The incident occurred months ago, and still makes me cringe when I think about it.

Best outfitter I've ever been to. I had a fantastic time, great guy, knowledgeable and happy to share info and easy going atmosphere. We came to see ULA bags as we hadn't seen them in person before, and they had the two we were curious about (Circuit and Catalyst).My husband and I were fitted and we found out we're different sizes than what REI had told us. When we tried on the new bag sizes, they fit perfectly and felt so much more comfortable than our current bag sizes. If I could, I would give much higher than 5, I will absolutely come back for resupplies on trail next year. Would very strongly recommend!

Shuttled with Lumpy to Massie Gap. 10/10 would recommend. Great stories, and great advice. “One foot in front of the other.”Note that the location has changed. It’s a better location - on the closer side of town SOBO.

Guy has great knowledge and experience in gear for thru hikers. Helped me find the right pack for my size and had inside knowledge and experience on each brand. They just moved location up the road a few blocks so make sure you double check the address. GPS will take you to their old location at 110 W Laurel, but it's actually 335 EAST Laurel.

Great place! Huge through hiker style inventory. Customer service through the roof! They try to play like they're hardened ZZ top backwoods crazy folk, but they're really a bunch of softies. I mean that as a compliment! Good place!

Best outfitters south of Katahdin. Hands down! Everything one needs for a weekend trip or thousands of miles. Support small local businesses. Stop in, call, or order online direct from MRO.

This IS the outfitter to visit in town. Very knowledgeable and genuine cool dude (Lumpy). A rare kind soul. Shop had Tyvek by the roll and cut to which ever size you may need. Huge selection of Oboz hiking boots, and the prices were comparable to online if not better! Also fairly large selection of dehydrated meals. The hand warmers came in handy as the wind chill was in the teens. Will definitely be back!
