It all begins in a few short hours... our first Grand Canyon Challenge team of 2020 (finally!) will drop a mile into the Canyon. They’ll be the first TSX team to tackle the Escalante Route - new for us this year - and will spend THREE nights on the banks of the Colorado. We are excited to be back! #grandcanyonchallenge #tsxchallenge #escalanteroute #grandcanyon #hikeAZ #hancerapids #inspirationforalifetime #grandcanyonnationalpark

This team just completed 50 miles, including 10 off trail, and crushed Mt. Goddard. Upper Goddard Canyon, with The Wall in sight. So proud of this crew, which included a mix of first time backpackers and returning TSX participants. Team effort all the way! #tsxchallenge #hellforsurechallenge #goddardcanyon #teameffort #lecontedivide #mtgoddard #kingscanyonnationalpark #pushthelimits #sanjoquinriver #centralsierra

Not too many people down in the Canyon on a mid-Aug morning hike... this may be why! 5.30am on the hike out of the Monument Creek drainage.

“I am a 14 year old boy from the Bay Area and I

“I am a 14 year old boy from the Bay Area and I had an amazing time! 7 nights 8 days, 242,000 steps, summiting Mt. Whitney was no easy task. Lots of hikes in training had gone into me being physically and mentally ready for this trek. I am already a very active person and this was no doubt the most difficult and challenging week of my life. Every corner you go around feels like you entered a whole new world. Beautiful views and scenery. You will have aches and pains, and you will be dirty, but in the end I can guarantee this will make it to your top 5 life experiences. This will be a trip to remember and tell friends and family about for forever.” Congrats Tyler, and team, on an incredible accomplishment! #tsxchallenge #team4 #mtwhitney #tsxroute #inspiration #sequoianationalpark #kingscanyonnationalpark #gallatslake #kernkaweahriverdrainage #reflection #yolo #earnedeverystep #teamwork #tsxfamily #tenkara

We had our youngest team ever on the trail with us

We had our youngest team ever on the trail with us last week, learning about themselves, and the outdoors, through experiences can’t be taught in a classroom. It wasn’t a typical summer camp - it was true camping, adventure and exploring in some of the most remote parts of the Sierra while summiting two 12,000’ off trail peaks. They learned how to hike smart, safe, leave no trace, and made some incredible memories with each other and their families. We’re going to find a way to get the price point down on this so we can take 100 kids out next year to enable and inspire the next generation. When you’re 12 years old and complete a challenge like this, you realize you can do anything you put your mind to. #tsxchallenge #leavenotrace #hellforsure #notyouraverage #summercamp #lessscreentime #morescreetime #kidswhohike #perserverance #earnit #noshower #idhikethat #mtwhitney #kingscanyonnationalpark #sequoianationalpark #johnmuirwilderness #lamorinda #clovis #shaverlake #centralsierra #sierranationalforest #hellforsurelake #redmountain #mthutton #centralvalley #inspirationforalifetime

Happy Mother’s Day. This picture is from 2011, our first year of running TSX, and captures the moment this special mom saw her daughter as she exited the trail from Mt. Whitney after a week-long Trans-Sierra Xtreme Challenge trek. #mtwhitney #tsxchallenge #reunited #inspirationforalifetime #happymothersday
