About Us

What is Mountain Outfitters?

Mountain Outfitters is a locally run, locally owned, and locally invested outdoor specialty goods retailer based in Monteagle, TN. With a dedicated staff of local employees, Mountain Outfitters offers the very best outdoor apparel and equipment from top brands like Arc'teryx, Patagonia, Mountain Hardwear, Marmot, The North Face, Chaco, Keen, Salomon, and others. We strive to ensure that our customers are comfortable and safe exploring the area surrounding Monteagle and anywhere one finds the outdoors.

While the broader outdoor retail industry often targets the most aggressive of mountain climbers, we at Mountain Outfitters recognize that most of our customers are much more casual in their approach to the backcountry. We want to encourage everyone to set his or her own goals for exploring the outdoors. Over time, we hope that we can help our customers reconnect with nature and the world around us. We believe that by fostering ecological awareness and first hand experience with nature, we all can become better stewards of the environment and our world. We want you to reach your peak and hope to provide whatever gear or information you might need.

Who are we?

Our staff is made up of local individuals and students from the University of the South who are all outdoor enthusiasts willing and able to help you find the gear you need. As members of our local community, we use outdoor retail as a platform to encourage outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship while also working to improve access to the backcountry. At our brick and mortar location as well as on our website we provide quality equipment for hiking, climbing, camping, trail running, and yoga. We work hard to provide the most value to our customers interested in escaping to the wilderness.

While recognizing the importance of communing with nature wherever we find it, we must acknowledge a special connection to the Cumberland Plateau where we are found. We aim to help anyone looking to see the beauty of this special region by providing information about our home and any gear you might need in your wanderings. Stop in to our shop just off of I-24 (exit 134) in Monteagle and ask us about it – we are always happy to help you reach your peak.
