Introducing the Social Hikers Membership: Your All-Access Pass to Adventure
One Membership. All Challenges. Your Adventure Starts Here.
For the past eleven years, the Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge has inspired thousands of hikers to discover new trails, build endurance, and celebrate the joy of reaching the summit.
Each year, challengers registered for individual regions — Arizona, SoCal, NorCal, Colorado, Oregon, and beyond — and received a welcome packet with their hiker tag, stickers, and pin. It’s been an incredible run.
But as our community has grown, so has our vision.
Starting with the 2026 season, we’re introducing something new:
The Social Hikers Membership — your all-access pass to every Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge, plus new challenges and adventure options.
With one membership, you’ll unlock all 17 challenges in the 2026 series across the country — from the desert peaks of Arizona to the alpine trails of the Pacific Northwest and the ancient high-points of New England — for the same $60 annual price you paid for a single challenge.
What’s Included
- Unlimited access to all Six-Pack of Peaks Challenges
- Ability to log your hikes and earn virtual badges
- Recognition on official finisher lists
- Personalized digital finisher certificates for each challenge you complete
- Access to our members-only community, leaderboards, and groups
- Early access to guided group trips and exclusive member swag
We’ve also simplified the experience: everything is digital, easy to access, and flexible. No more juggling multiple registrations — just one membership that follows you wherever you hike.
Something Else is New in 2026
For the first time, you can mix-and-match mountains from different challenges to earn your finisher badge, letting you combine peaks from multiple challenges and truly customize your challenge.
Legacy Challengers: You’ve Earned Something Special
If you’ve completed challenges for past four or more consecutive years, you’re a Legacy Challenger — and we want to honor your commitment.
Legacy members receive:
- A $10 shop credit toward any Six-Pack gear
- Access to the exclusive Legacy Edition Hat (limited-run design)
- Lifetime recognition on our Legacy Wall of Finishers
You’ve helped build this community from the ground up, and this is our way of saying thank you.

More trails. More connection. More adventure.
Welcome to the next chapter of the Six-Pack of Peaks.
This is so great! Thanks Jeff for the continuous improvements to the program and to the community!
Awesome. I’m interested in how the customized / mix&match part will look. Maybe do an overall California badge if you complete at least one hike from each of the six California challenges?
@nrsd999 I am interested in the same… Hoping we can pick and choose from other states too if we’re traveling and in the area.
Tracy – Yes! You could do one peak from six different challenges to earn a finisher badge, if you wanted. A great way to sample some of the other challenges in different regions.
