Congratulations to Team #4 who topped out today and completed the Grand Canyon Challenge! This small but mighty team of 5 spent three nights below the Rim, taking the old Boucher trail down to the river - arguably one of the more rugged and challenging trails in the Canyon. Their trip included a night at Boucher Rapids on the beaches of the Colorado. This crew was well prepared and rocked it! Congrats on the accomplishment! #tsxchallenge #teamwork #grandcanyonchallenge #bouchertrail #hermittrail #nevergiveup #earnedit #inspirationforalifetime #tsxfamily

Team 2 is out, with the oldest and youngest participants to complete the Grand Canyon Challenge - Escalate Route (68 and 13!). The team went one man down due to injury early in the trip - grateful for all who helped manage that challenge. But they rallied and supported each other every step of the way to the very end. Proud of this crew for the incredible accomplishment, and wishing our missing teammate a speedy recovery. #tsxfamily #grandcanyonchallenge #inspirationforalifetime

From snow to sand, and river to Rim, Team #1 rocked it! Mental strength was in high demand - from hopping out of the van in a snowstorm with below freezing temps, to the 4am start on the final day to hike 10.5 miles from river to Rim! Earned every step of this accomplishment! Congrats! Team #2 heads out in the AM! #tsxchallenge #grandcanyonchallenge #inspirationforalifetime #cedonulli #nevergiveup

We are counting down the days now until our Grand Canyon Challenge spring treks begin. Early morning hikes are typical to beat the heat, with lighting that reveals the fresh and features, like the Sphinx of Monument Creek, heading up from Granite Rapids. #tsxchallenge #monumentcreek #graniterapids #sphinx #grandcanyonchallenge #grandcanyon #optoutside #morninghike #countdownison #inspiration #nevergiveup #cedonuli

This family joined us last year on a private group

This family joined us last year on a private group experience. They completed our Hell For Sure Challenge loop, backpacking 40 miles of remote John Muir Wilderness terrain in the high Sierra. Here they are on a day hike up to Red Mountain with Hell For Sure Lake and Mt. Hutton in the background. These kids were in middle school, and brought their A game with a positive attitude and sense of adventure, including about 6 miles of off trail hiking! #winnersall #earnedit #adventurevacation #tsxpods #tsxchallenge #hellforsurechallenge #hellforsurepass #hellforsurelake #mthutton #johnnuirwilderness #lamorinda #familyvacation #wideopenspace #ageisirrelevant #motivated #centralsierra #shaverlake #courtrightreservoir #johnmuirwilderness

“By far the most physical challenge of my life (

“By far the most physical challenge of my life (including natural childbirth). My main reason for the trip was to summit Mt. Whitney. I could have done with out the other 60 miles, but wow, what an accomplishment. I witnessed such beautiful unspoiled nature and met some wonderful people. The first few days were grueling, due to challenging trail conditions. I would have loved for a helicopter rescue, but later I was glad the helicopter never came and I persevered. Our guides (Chris and Tolman) were so helpful, positive, and encouraging. They always put all of our needs first and cooked, cleaned, provided first aide, and were always professional, but one of our friends at the same time. They were perfect at knowing just how much help and encouragement to give and when we just needed a moment to ourselves. Overall, it was truly an amazing life experience that I will never forget and always feel a sense of accomplishment for achieving. Thank you TSX Challenge!”
