We are super excited about our new 2026 Summit Challenge, a simple, fun goal built around hiking some of the best mountains close to home, which can be completed throughout the year.
The challenge includes eight different hikes to eight local summits, all in and around Arrowhead Ranch and the surrounding area. Each hike offers its own views, terrain, and sense of accomplishment, giving members a reason to stay active and discover some new trails you may not have experienced yet.
Many of the group hikes this year will be part of the Summit Challenge, so keep an eye out for upcoming hikes. It is also something you can complete on your own as well
Complete the challenge and you’ll win a free tshirt!
