My name is Sasa (pronounced as Sasha). Hiking became my passion after I moved to New Hampshire from Europe. I enjoy being outdoors whenever possible and living in the heart of the beautiful White Mountains makes being outdoors really special.
I am currently a member of Appalachian Mountain Club. Besides participating in New England Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge my goal is to hike all New England 4000 footers (67 of them). As an ambassador, I will try to motivate as many people as possible to join this challenge and enjoy the great outdoors. Happy trails!
To me, hiking is a way to see the country in ways many people don’t. Road trips and collecting high points are my main motive. I grew up in New Jersey, discovered hiking while living in North Carolina, and have been based in Southern California since 2012. I love everything from hiking well maintained, popular trails in the Southwest to mountaineering less accessible peaks.
My day job is teaching at a school where I’m lucky enough to have a small hiking club for students who I take on small excursions once a month.
I started hiking in 2008 and helped start up LA Trail Hikers. I joined the Six-Pack Of Peaks Challenge in 2016 and found that it was a great challenge for me and others. I continue to push my limits, including recently signing up for my first 50 mile race. I always look forward to meeting other hikers on the trails and sharing stories.

Hi all! My name is Lucie and I am avid hiker and explorer. I love traveling, hiking and backpacking!

I am currently living in Portland, Oregon and getting more and more into legit mountain climbing, which is super exciting. I am originally from Prague and traveled and lived all around the globe which opened up lot of opportunities for me.
I have completed Central Oregon Six Pack of Peaks Challenge in 2019, but also summited most of the peaks in Arizona and South & North California Challenge over the last few years. I love bagging peaks and enjoying the view!
Rebecca's favorite outdoor activity is peak bagging and she’ll go out of her way to stand on top of any named peak along any hike. She has been sharing her outdoor adventures on her blog, calipidder.com, since 2004 and is still shocked that anyone other than her mom reads it.
Software product manager by day, Rebecca appreciates working for a company with a strong work-life balance and generous vacation allowance. This gives her the ability to travel and explore, although since moving to Bend, Oregon in 2016 she hasn’t felt the need to stray too far from home for adventure.
