131 S Allen St

“From tents, packs, and water filters to climbing gear and snowsports essentials, Appalachian Outdoors keeps State College adventurers dialed for Rothrock rambles or a Mount Nittany burn. Rentals and a ski shop mean you can gear up, tune up, and get back outside quicker... preferably before your coffee wears off.”
