Join in for our Annual Mountain Cleanup Day - July 24th!

Trash on the road

Thank you for being a part of our community and helping us protect the places we all love.

Our Annual Mountain Cleanup Day is here!  As a company, we cherish the mountains and all the natural areas where we are lucky enough to work.   We know how important they are to so many, and how quickly they can be affected by those who don’t practice Leave No Trace. To show our commitment to preserving these incredible places for future generations, we are taking a day off to focus on cleaning up some of our beloved outdoor spaces.

For one day, we don’t run any trips. Instead, our entire team, from guides to office staff and ownership, go out in the field, picking up trash and taking care of many of the areas we work. We do this as a company volunteer event here in Mt. Shasta, and we encourage our guides in other locations to join in and clean up the areas they love that are closer to them.

We want to extend this invitation to help make a difference to you also. Whether you’re near Mt. Shasta or in your own local area, we ask that you join us in making a difference. Spend some time outdoors, pick up litter, and help keep our natural spaces beautiful. If you do participate, we’d love to hear about it! Your efforts and stories can inspire others to join in and make this event grow even bigger each year.

We are also providing a special discount for anyone who participates, let’s us know about it, and wants to join us on a trip (or more) for the rest of the season!
