It’s not just the trails, but the people you spend time with that make each TSX Challenge a meaningful experience. Remembering a truly inspirational member of the TSX family who passed away one year ago, El Tanko. He brought so much joy to the people he spent time with in the back country and in life. We miss you and will see you down the trail.

Our crown jewel and namesake, the TSX (Trans-Sierra Xtreme) Challenge is what started it all for us.

75 miles over 8 days through the High Sierra, it is the definition of a wilderness adventure. This point to point trek avoids popular back country trails and is full of river crossings, high mountain passes, peaceful meadows, remarkable campsites and is capped off with a summit of Mt. Whitney. It’s raw, it’s real and it’s rugged.

We only run 3 trips per year starting in mid July. Check out the trip schedule on our website in our bio.

Summer is all about the Sierra and June can’t come soon enough!

This photo is from our Mt. Goddard Xtreme Challenge. It is one of our most difficult routes but the reward is having remote places like this all to ourselves.

Don’t let the name fool you, the Hell For Sure C

Don’t let the name fool you, the Hell For Sure Challenge is one of our most playful routes.

A 5 night 40 mile loop in John Muir Wilderness that features a day trip up Red Mountain and a full day of going off trail through the High Sierra. This is our gateway challenge perfect for people who are new to backpacking but still want that remote and rugged experience.

Check out the schedule on our website, we still have a few slots open!

These moments are all the more enjoyable having earned it. Have a great weekend!

This swimming hole is a necessary pit stop after a tough day of climbing and technical hiking. It’s right after the Papago Wall and Slide on the Escalante Route. Great place to beat the heat and hydrate.

The view from the top of Mt. Goddard (13,563 ft). Our Mt. Goddard Xtreme Challenge is a riff on the Hell For Sure route. Perfect if you want to push yourself a little harder and earn one of the most satisfying peaks in the High Sierra.

Despite the recent storm, it has been a moderately light snow year in the High Sierra. That makes traversing passes and crossing rivers a whole lot easier!

Our Trans Sierra Xtreme Challenge (TSX) goes over several snow covered passes and crosses numerous mountain streams. It is an equally challenging and rewarding adventure through some of the most remote Sierra wilderness.

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
