One day on a San Francisco beach, two men with a passion for hiking and the outdoors had a big idea.

The North Face® takes its name from the harshest, coldest side of a mountain. It was the sheer northwest face of Half Dome in Yosemite National park that provided the inspiration for The North Face® logo, paying tribute to the company’s climbing heritage and outdoor roots and quest to Never Stop Exploring™.
