The approach to the Elephant's Perch in Idaho's Sawtooth Wilderness requires a boat ride, creek crossings and a long, steep hike that's why Patagonia designed the Women's Rock Craft Shorts. Stretchy, fast drying, 4.5-oz nylon/spandex glides over sweaty skin and holds its shape after a hand washing and wringing. There are four useful, low-profile pockets, a button closure and zip fly. You'll live in these technical shorts; whether it's enjoying the perfectly flat granite slab tent spots at the Perch or fishing for brown trout for breakfast. Oh, and there's a Beckey route, too. Inseam is 5".
