A Father and Son Business
Glen Boulder started from an idea that Matt Campbell had to create a brand that would represent the passion, enthusiasm, and love that he has for the outdoors. With some help and reassuring support from his father Jeff, this father son duo created Glen Boulder.
Born into an adventure loving family with deep connections to the mountains of the northeast, Matt learned to love and respect the outdoors from a very young age. Jeff made sure to teach Matt the power of exploration and to always look for the next adventure. In the summer of 2019, the two saw an opportunity to put their passion for adventure and premier outdoors gear in action by creating Glen Boulder.
The Origin of Our Name
Our name comes from the unique rock found along the Glen Boulder trail, located in the town of Gorham, New Hampshire. The trail is a quick ascend through a forest of spruce trees and other vegetation until it eventually emerges above tree line, where the striking form of Glen Boulder looms up ahead.
This unusually large boulder was left by a retreating glacier in such an inconceivable position during the past ice age. It presumably came from the summit of Mount Washington, carried by glacial ice, and deposited at its final resting point along the Glen Boulder trail.
Creating Memories That Will Last A Lifetime
The significance behind this location is because this hiking trail was the first above tree line hike Matt ever took with Jeff when he was only 7 years old. Sure enough the two have grown to love this trail not only for the beautiful views, but also for the significance that it has because it represents a specific adventure that they were able to share with each other.
The story ties in well to the brand because Glen Boulder is ultimately a lifestyle, one in which you wake up early to start your adventure, share some fun and laughs with friends and family, and create unforgettable memories. We are a family operated business and we pride ourselves in creating the highest quality products and the best customer experience.
