Trekking Poles

topic posted Fri, May 2, 2008 - 11:47 PM by 
Thinking about purchasing trekking poles for the first time. Never had them, but I hear they really help folks with knee issues. My knees have bounced back wonderfully after a shaky year (2006?) following an injury from hopping down Mt. Diablo nonchalantly one Fall...but I'd like to keep my knees healthy into a ripe old age... Any advice? Shopping suggestions?
