SUMMIT TOUR 2023
The Summit Tour is a once in a lifetime experience that is designed challenge those who are looking to improve themselves. During this event you will not know the people you will have to rely on, what challenges you will have to overcome, or even if you can do it. Our team has created an experience that will help you realize that you are capable of more than you think. This tour is not meant to be a walk in the park or a day at the beach. This tour is meant to be something that will push you to the next level in your life. Our focus is to help those who face mental health challenges walk away with the skills, confidence, and network of supportive people needed to overcome them. Spaces are limited and we typically do not allow repeat attendance to this event. Grab your spot while they are still available!
WHAT IS THE SUMMIT TOUR?
IT IS AN AMAZING, ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
This year our tour starts in Price, Utah, where you will check in, sticker up, and cash out on all the awesome swag from our sponsors. This is where you will also meet the people you are sharing this experience with, our amazing pit crew, sponsors, and attendees. Once orientation is over it is time for the fun to begin. The next five days will be full of challenges, victories, tears, smiles, mountains, and most of all summits. Every day will be a mix of training, trails camping and special challenges with one goal in mind: get everyone to the summit. Reaching the summit is not only about physical elevation gain, it is about every step, every problem, every setback. Reaching the summit is about carrying on when everything seems to be an uphill battle. On this tour you'll find an internal summit as well as the 1,300'+ peaks we will be ascending before the close of the event in Ouray, Colorado.

We love our great nation and everything it stands for and we carry the US flag over every inch of distance covered on the entire trip. The veterans are tasked with this responsibility and at the end of the event they award the flag to any guest, or pit crew member they feel earned it the most. The flag is folded at the close of the event while the attendees learn about the 13 folds of the flag, and the symbolism of each fold.
