"Pack the Kelty Grand Mesa 6 Tent next time you camp or backpack with your family or five best friends. This six-person, three-season tent is a cinch to set up simply clip the two tent poles to this tent's exterior. Throw on the waterproof rain fly if the weather looks sketchy, and you'll sleep peacefully, even if the skies dump. The fly provides nearly 30 square feet of vestibule space plenty of room for your backpacks and muddy hiking boots. When the sun comes out, take off the fly and let the breeze flow through the insect-blocking mesh window and door."

Grand Mesa 6
Reviewed by Shelly Berger, Jun 10, 2009

"Normally I utilize smaller tents, but for a 2 week trip with my husband, we wanted a taller tent he would not have to crawl into, and that would accommodate our air mattresses and gear when we were using it as a basecamp.

I bought this tent without having time to read reviews after an online order was back ordered."
