The peaks in the Appalachian Six-Pack of Peaks Challenge have been curated by backpacker and public lands advocate Benny Braden. Benny lives in beautiful Eastern Tennessee between the Cumberland Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains.
He’s the founder and CEO of Responsible Stewardship, a 501(c)3 all volunteer, action based nonprofit organization that is dedicated to restoring public lands, outdoor spaces and communities that’s been affected by illegal dump site and litter irresponsibly left behind by others. In 2017 Benny also set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for the Smokies 900-Miler.
