A winter wonderland attempt to Fletcher - Kudos to Las Vegas challenger Amanda for this shot from her hike on Fletcher Peak last Saturday. It always blows people's minds when they learn that people are hiking in SNOW just outside of Las Vegas in APRIL!

When you think of hiking in Vegas in April, you probably don’t picture a winter wonderland. But you’d be wrong! Check it out!

Here’s a fun b & w shot from last weekend’s hike. There is always something to capture out in Mother Nature. Remember to only leave footprints and only take photos when you are outdoors. 📸 @t.lopez_photography #hiker #leavenotrace #amongthewild #teamegaf #sixpackofpeakschallenge #lasvegassixpackofpeaks #sixpackofpeaks #hiking #snow #fletcherpeak ...

We are changing! When we launched @sixpackofpeaks, there was only one Six-Pack of Peaks challenge: Southern California. Who knew that eight year later we would grow to eleven challenges across the country?!

After many adventures shared together here, we’re moving. To follow our SoCal Six-Pack of Peaks updates, head over to @socal.sixpackofpeaks ‼️

@sixpackofpeaks will remain a great source for inspiration with activity from ALL of our challenges across the country. Thanks for being here!

PNW Six-Pack of Peaks ambassador @kristin_decou already has climbed two of the peaks in the 2022 challenge. And check out those views from Mount Si! ⛰🌄
・・・
Winter is coming (🌧❄️), so I snuck in a long hike on what felt like a balmy April day.

I’ve been wanting to climb Mount Si since we moved to WA. It was a cloudless day and joyful reminder hiking makes me feel free. It’s a way to push my limits that doesn’t feel like pushing. It’s discovery and exploration and travel. It’s time to just be and reflect.

Henry David Thoreau tells us that “all good things are wild and free.” It feels a lot like that. 😊🏔🌲

Our monthly theme for January is Hiking Fitness. How do you train for bigger hikes? Here's my story.

When my girlfriend and I were training for a 3-week thru-hike of the 211-mile John Muir Trail, I knew that we needed a structured training plan. We had been hiking every Wednesday night after work on the 'Roller Coaster Ridge' near San Clemente, but 4.6 mile loop wouldn't cut it alone.

We added a 6-mile hike every Monday after work, and then longer hikes on the weekends. On the JMT we would be averaging 12 miles/day and over 2k vertical feet. So we started increasing the distance and total vertical gain on our hikes, staying local. We loaded gallon jugs of water into the backpacks we would use and carried those on our day hikes. And when we had the the mileage and the vertical gain, we started hiking what would become the first-ever Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge.

Today, I continue to use the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge as part of my training for other adventures, but also use other tools to help me keep on track between hikes. I'm using the activity rings on my Apple Watch (aiming for a perfect January). I use the Peloton Bike and the app for cardio, strength and flexibility training. And I use Strava for tracking activities across sports (biking, hiking, and soon... skiing).

Follow me on Peloton @theSoCalHiker and get a 60-day pass to access classes via the app (link in bio).

The last ones to hike Ontario Peak yesterday. Congratulations to challenge Jaclyn and her dog for making it safely down from Ontario Peak... in the dark. Yes, the end of Daylight Savings Time means the sunsets before 5pm, and a headlamp had best be in your daypack!
