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!”

Our Hell For Sure Challenge is a route that only T

Our Hell For Sure Challenge is a route that only TSX does. We created it in 2018 out of love, and to share this remote part of the Sierra. This past year we moved our day three camp to Pride Rock. It’s a dry camp about two miles off trail, at 11,500’, on the ridge line of the LeConte Divide just below Mt. Hutton. You get the perfect sunset, and the perfect sunrise, and the most incredible display of stars. Sleeping out (no tent) optional, but highly encouraged! Mt. Goddard in background on right. #hellforsurechallenge #lecontedivide #goddarddivide #mtgoddard #tsxchallenge #leavelimitsbehind #sleepingoutside #unreal #priderockcamp #bestrouteinthesierra #inspirationforalifetime #centralsierra #johnmuirwilderness
