Register for the 2020 NorCal Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge

The Northern California Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge brings people together around an epic goal: hike six iconic Bay Area peaks between January 1st and December 31st, have fun, and help raise money for Big City Mountaineers along the way!

Take the Challenge!
2020 NorCal Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge

The NorCal Six-Pack of Peaks are a series of iconic Bay Area summit hikes.

Mt Umunhum

Mount Umunhum

The peak was long off limits, but after a major cleanup operation removed almost all of an abandoned air force station, it was opened to the public in 2017.

Mount Saint Helena

Mount Saint Helena

This 4,341' peak is the tallest in the NorCal Six-Pack, and one of the few mountains in the Bay Area to actually receive snow in the winter.

Mount Tamalpais

Mount Tamalpais

This loop trail from Stinson Beach to the summit of Mt Tamalpais is a good choice for a summer hike since it can start in a cool morning fog along the coast. After hiking 8 miles and over 3000 vertical feet, you’ll find yourself on the summit of a mountain with a fire lookout tower.

Mt Diablo

Mount Diablo

This summit provides some of the best views in the Bay Area. On a clear day, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and even the Farallon Islands beyond. To the east, the Sierra Nevada Range.

Mount Sizer

Mount Sizer

This hike steeply climbs and descends several ridges. Mount Sizer is the high point in the park along Blue Ridge. This loop is a clockwise loop from park headquarters that ascends “The Shortcut”– often cited as the steepest trail in the Bay Area.

Rose Peak

Rose Peak

This hike through the Ohlone Wilderness travels rugged terrain and rolling green hills, with an optional detour to seasonal Murietta Falls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the story behind the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge? Expand

The original Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge was created as a part of a training regimen  for a through-hike of the John Muir Trail. Since then, others have joined the challenge to help them prepare for Mt Whitney and other big adventures. Many others find it challenge enough on it's own!

Completing the challenge in a single season is a feat that few can claim, and great for bragging rights and trail cred.

How do I register for The Challenge? Expand

You can register for the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge selecting one of the three registration levels. Each level offers additional options.

Do I have to register to hike these peaks? Expand

Of course not! You can hike these peaks for free. But if you join the challenge, you become part of the community, support Big City Mountaineers and could win some great gear.
