Event Details
Hike to support our community members who are fighting cancer and honor the friends and families we have lost.
The 25th Annual Summit Hike is an enduring tradition of Living Journeys that brings together friends, families, coworkers, and community members to hike the peak in celebration, support, or memory of their loved ones. Participants have the option to either hike, run, or ride the chairlift from the base. Hikers can sign up to fundraise, level up their involvement, and get some awesome perks.
In honor of 25 years, Living Journeys is excited to unveil fresh additions for this year’s Summit Hike including:
- Lower pricing for individuals and youth
- Premium swag bags for all participants
- Enhanced peer to peer fundraising opportunities
- DJ to keep the energy high and the festivities lively
- New sponsorship opportunities
Participants have the option to hike the challenging 11.5 miles round trip or to ride the chair lift (ticket included with all registrations), which covers 2,000 vertical feet in 15 minutes. From the top of the chair lift, participants hike a high alpine trail to the peak (2 miles round trip, 762 vertical feet).
Mt. Crested Butte is situated in the heart of the West Elk Mountains in southwestern Colorado. At the summit of Mt. Crested Butte (12,162 feet) participants will get a 360 degree view of the West Elk Mountains, the Raggeds, the Snowmass/Maroon Bells Wilderness and the Gunnison National Forest.
