The original 52 Hike Challenge with additional objectives you must complete. We added the adventure series because we wanted you to have a well rounded 52 Hikes experience; going to beautiful places, connecting with friend & family, all while caring for our trails.
We believe this challenge will enrich your life and make your 52 Hike Challenge journey memorable for years to come.
