Register for the 2025 Appalachian Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge, a self-paced hiking challenge that begins January 1, 2025 and ends December 31, 2025. 

Explore new mountains, test your limits, level up your outdoor experience, and expand the boundaries of what you are capable of. 

Complete the hikes on a schedule that works for you. You can hike them in six days, six weeks, or take the entire year. Start with easier hikes and work your way up to more challenging climbs. 

The mountains begin lower with Smith Mountain, graduating to longer more challenging peaks, culminating with the 6,687′ Mount Mitchell – the highest peak east of the Mississippi. 

There are twelve peaks to choose from — pick any six to complete the challenge or hike them all.
