I enjoy hiking and backpacking. I go to Yellowstone once a year.

What's the best pack to buy? I have one but bought it at Sports Academy and I feel there should be better ones out there.

I forgot one thing: some places like REI offer pack rentals, so you can try them out on the trail before buying your own. Not free, obviously, so not the best option if you're on a budget. Selection also may be limited. But it may be helpful in some circumstances.
