Welcome to TSX Challenge.
We lead small group guided backpacking treks to remote and original destinations that are team-oriented, easy to join, and open to all ages and experience levels. Founded in 2011 in Clovis, CA, our trails have had an incredibly positive impact on our family, friends and growing TSX community. We hope they can have an equally positive impact on you, renewing conviction you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
Discover the perfect vacation, and adventure.
Each challenge traverses awe-inspiring terrain, completely unplugged, with a small group and incredibly passionate guides. While our treks can be intense, no prior backpacking experience is required. Just bring your mental toughness, positive attitude, and be ready for an experience that can inspire for a lifetime.
Why choose TSX Challenge?
We’ve been enabling all ages and experience levels to backpack to remote destinations and reach big new goals since 2011. Just bring your personal items, positive attitude and come prepared for an experience that can inspire for a lifetime.
