Feedback requested on Summit Flags
One of the recurring problems in many areas is the plethora of signs that are carried to the summits and left there. In theory, they are left to share with others, but unless this is placed by the governing agency (like the official sign on Mt San Jacinto), it violates the principles of Leave No Trace. It’s essentially litter.
Some people create their own signs (typically out of wood) and sometimes carry them back down with them, but those unfortunately seem to be the exceptions.
So we’re introducing a line of Summit Flags. These 12″ x 17″ flags are lightweight, easy-to-pack, include the peak name and elevation. They include artwork on both sides, one horizontally and the other vertically, giving you the ability to choose your preference. And they look good on your wall to commemorate your accomplishments.
Leave a comment below and let me know the top three peaks you would like to see flags for. They don’t even need to be in one of the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenges (i.e. Mount Whitney).
And be sure to enter our October giveaway for a chance to win a summit flag for the peak of your choosing, and we’ll throw in a hang kit.

Thanks for the suggestions! Have you climbed Mt Rainier?

Not yet. It is my bucket list mountain and I’m hoping to hike it in 2026.

Shasta, Whitney, Rainier.
But it would also be cool to do lesser ones too for newer, less experienced people, maybe like Angel’s Landing and stuff like that.

What about San Jacinto, San Antonio, and San Gorgonio, to go along with your new Three Saints badge?

Great suggestions! ????

Okay, we’ve begun adding individual peak summit flags to the shop!
https://shop.socialhiker.net/product-category/swag/summit-flags/
- Mount Baldy, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio in the SoCal challenge
- Katahdin, Mount Washington and Mount Chocorua in the New England challenge
- Mount Tamalpais from the Bay Area Challenge
- Mount Shasta (NorCal)
- Mount Rainier (Pacific Northwest)
- Flatiron from the Arizona Winter challenge
We will be adding Mount Whitney and other popular icons, and our goal is to have options available for all of the peaks in the various challenges in the series, as well as state high points and other notable or popular mountains and hikes (like Angel’s Landing).
Let me know what we should add next!

All the peaks in San Diego! And where are the regional specific stickers, patches and back pack tags for 2026?
