Our first Grand Canyon Limited Edition to the Conf

Our first Grand Canyon Limited Edition to the Confluence trip is done and dusted! Such an amazing experience. This was a very challenging trek. Big miles, very hot days, technical terrain....but it was all worth it to see and experience such a powerful place.

We will post more photos and videos in the coming days but here are some highlights from the 8 days spent in the canyon. Thank you to the TSX All Stars for joining us and helping us dial in this experience.

There is one more Confluence trip going out in the fall, we have a few spots left for anyone who is interested.

With a life story as interesting as her travels, A

With a life story as interesting as her travels, Annie continues to grow personally while inspiring others when on the trail. A veteran, an artist, and a mother of beautiful daughters, when she’s not traveling the seven continents you can find her hiking her mountain - Tuyshtak - teaching others about her passions, or backpacking with TSX. Annie will be participating on her 6th TSX experience this month, Tehipite Valley… can’t wait to see you on the trail!

What kind of snow are we going to encounter in the

What kind of snow are we going to encounter in the Sierra this year? That is the question right now.

Late April snow storms have dropped more precipitation than Jan, Feb & March combined! Even with this recent snow it has still been a below average season. We will likely encounter some pockets of snow in high places on our early trips but likely won't have to worry too much about big snow fields and swollen rivers.

These photos are on Colby Pass on our Trans Sierra trek from two different years.

Here is to the juniors at Tahoe Expedition Academy for completing the Extended Escalante Route!

We worked with the school to build an experience incorporating the growth and learning that comes from completing a TSX Challenge with their current curriculum. In between hiking we learned photography and Platonic philosophy in the most beautiful classroom imaginable!

After countless months of preparation, zoom meetin

After countless months of preparation, zoom meetings, training hikes, and nerves, this crew of inspiring women from across the country met for the first time as a team last week in Flagstaff for what would be a life changing experience for many. Over four days and 30 miles of Grand Canyon hiking, the #over50outside team shared stories, laughter, and forged new bonds of friendship while accomplishing something extraordinary. Thank you to the entire crew for sharing your joy with us! #tsxchallenge #52hikechallenge #tsxfamily #grandcanyonchallenge #ageisirrelevant #attitudeiseverything #earnit #cedonulli #nevergiveup @calhoun_monica @mikahiker @lsterno_531

When @yeshuyun721 (Izzy) signed up to join a Grand

When @yeshuyun721 (Izzy) signed up to join a Grand Canyon Challenge trip with us, she specifically requested the Escalante Route. Even though this would be her first ever overnight backpacking trip, she relished the challenge. As a data scientist and software engineer, Izzy knew what it takes to put in long hours of preparation and effort to reach her goal. Even so, every day on the trail pushed her in new ways, as seen by the beads of sweat here from her intense descent down the Papago Slide. But Izzy’s smile and determination carried her through, and she left the trail with renewed conviction that she can do anything she puts her mind to. Congrats on the incredible accomplishment!

TSX guide Austin King has stood on the summit of Mt. Whitney with his dad Dan not once, but twice, while leading trips for TSX. We love to get friends and family members out to see us in action, and spend that quality time together that can be so hard to come by with modern distractions.

Your family is our family - we hope to see you on the trail with us soon!
