Hail To The Trail

Now that spring is here, it’s time for hikers to hit the trail — but not without a healthy snack, of course.

If you’re tired of regular trail mix, the Chukar Cherry Company of Prosser, Wash., offers dried-fruit Mountain Mixes in three varieties: Mount Shasta (cranberries, tart cherries, blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries), Mount Hood (Bing and tart cherries, cranberries, blueberries and almonds) and Mount Rainier (Rainier and tart cherries, cranberries and apples). Healthy trails to you.

Price: About $1.30 for 1.5 ounces.

Available: In Spokane at Huckleberry’s Fresh Markets and Northwest Gourmet; for a free catalog including other products, call 1-800-624-9544.
