How's this tent in the summer? I'm looking at using it in the Grand Canyon, and want to be able to use it along the Appalachian Trail in the future.

This is a good tent but at almost 9 pounds I wouldn't want to carry it on the AT. As Phil posted, you will also get very warm using this tent in mild temperatures. You will want a 3 season tent for the adventures you are describing.

Hot in the summer, not enough ventilation for warm temps, and really heavy to be packing if you don't need to. Great tent, just not the one best suited for the needs you described.
