I recently returned from a breathtaking backpacking trip in Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park and the neighboring Never Summer Wilderness, part of the Arapaho National Forest.

A few days ago while aimlessly swiping down through my Instagram, I saw a post from Mitsubishi with a teaser shot of an upcoming cross-over called the Eclipse Cross.
