Alamance County sits between the Piedmont trails and the mountains. Gear up for all of it at Moss Mountain Outfitters, just across the Virginia border.
Burlington and Alamance County occupy a sweet spot in North Carolina's outdoor landscape -- the Haw River runs right through town, and the Blue Ridge Mountains are within day-trip reach.
For Burlington residents looking for quality outdoor gear without the big-box markup, Moss Mountain Outfitters in Danville, VA is about 45 minutes north on US-29. Landon and Susan offer a curated selection of premium brands, personal attention from a family-run team, and a shopping experience that supports community through the HUEF Foundation. Burlington adventurers who make the short drive across the state line discover a gear shop that feels more like a neighbor's recommendation than a retail transaction.
From KUHL hiking pants to Big Agnes tents, Smartwool base layers to Chaco sandals, we carry the brands that Alamance County trail users trust. Our selection is focused on quality, not quantity.
The mixed terrain around Burlington -- from Haw River bottoms to Cedarock ridges -- requires versatile footwear. Our fitting specialists help you find the perfect boot or trail shoe from Vasque, Oboz, or Danner.
Moss Mountain was founded on the HUEF principle: Head Up Eyes Forward. 100% of HUEF net profits go back to the community, supporting mental health awareness and outdoor access. When Burlington shoppers visit Landon and Susan, they leave with great gear and a clear conscience.
Burlington has its share of big retailers, but none with the expertise or the soul of a family-run outdoor shop. The 45-minute drive to Danville's River District is a welcome change of pace.
