What We Believe
No matter your age, background, shape or size, we believe you have what it takes to accomplish incredible things. Whether it be summiting Mt. Whitney (14,505′), or sleeping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, backpacking our nation’s remote backcountry has the ability to change people’s lives. Our trails have had an incredibly positive impact on our family, friends and community. We hope it can have an equally positive impact on you, renewing conviction you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
A warm embrace from the “Mighty Blue” podcast

After two failed attempts to summit Mt. Whitney, Appalachian Trail thru hiker and Hiking Radio Network podcaster “Mighty Blue” Steve Adams connected with TSX co-founder Chris Casado at the suggestion of a listener. Nearly one year later, his third attempt was a success. What was the missing ingredient? Follow his journey to Mt. Whitney on a three part podcast.
