Hike More. Get Strong. Do Good.
Get out of your comfort zone. See the world from the mountain tops. Your next adventure begins here.
The PNW challenge covers a lot of ground, in a very short hiking season. This challenge gives you a grand tour of Washington.
Coming in 2019, the Utah challenge explores the Uinta and Wasatch Mountains, with Salt Lake City as base camp.
Las Vegas is not just one-armed bandits and flashy shows.
The mountains are where the real action is.
How the Challenges Work
An overview of how we help people successfully complete these challenges.
Make the Commitment
Register for one of the challenges. There are several registration levels depending on the swag you want.
We provide training, gear and route-planning advice you'll need to make it to the top.
You can join our Big City Mountaineers fundraising team and make your summits count for even more!
Plan Your Hikes
You hike the peaks on your own schedule. You can hike them over six months, six weeks, or even six days.
Connect with others in our challenger-only forums, where you learn about trail conditions and make new hiking friends.
Log Your Summits
Record your successful summit hikes and earn virtual badges along the way to the finish line. You can compare your progress with your friends and encourage and inspire others with your hike logs.
And we throw a party for the finishers!
Doing Good
Hiking up a mountain can be good for your body, your mind, and others.
A portion of every registration helps support Big City Mountaineers, providing under-served youth mentoring in the outdoors.
In SoCal, we also support The Heroes Project and their annual Climb for Heroes event.
Over the past three years, we've raised nearly $80,000 for these organizations, proving that hiking is not only good for us, but also for others!
The Challenge is Growing!
We are bringing challenges to new regions, including Northern California, the PNW and New England.
