Kick-off: June 6
Final Challenge: October 17
Presented by the Greater Wasatch Broadband of Utah
- Individual or group challenge
- Track miles hiked, trails explored, total vertical, summits reached, trash collected, money donated, or whatever gets you motivated to get outside
- Post your challenge on the Broads View Blog and update your results
It's simple to get started! Send your name and email address to: greatwasatch@gmail.com and you'll be added to the challenge list.
Why participate?
The more you touch public lands, the greater your appreciation. Each day on the trail brings an unexpected surprise - a new flower or tree, a bird you never noticed, maybe a fox or deer - one never knows.
Here are a few Challenge examples:
Barbara McConvill, Co-leader GWB
Along with my husband Mike
and our two dogs, we are going to explore every trail that is under the Trails
Foundation of Northern Utah umbrella (Mike is a new board member). There are
almost 70 of them. On each outing we will collect trash and for each day of
adventure we will donate equally to Great Old Broads and Trails Foundation. Each
month we will write a personal note to one of the entities involved with the
trails, thanking them for their efforts. We hope to do the last hike of the
season with lots of trail challenge participants!
Di Allison and
Janifer Larson, Co-leaders, GWB
Ascension
of Lewis Peak is our Challenge. Jan anticipates knee surgery in June and will
train with Di and others to be able to meet the challenge in October! We will
hike trails in Utah, Idaho and Montana during the summer to prepare for Lewis
Peak. Come join us!
After every adventure, add your comments to the Blog so we can all enjoy your progress towards your big Challenge on October 17.
Amy from Salt Lake City is challenging herself to use Salt Lake City and County public planning documents as a guidebook to explore urban and urban-adjacent trail systems close to home. I want to focus on Salt Lake County Open Space, SLC Foothills Trails and the Jordan River Trail and Water Trail in order to learn more about the state of trailheads, trails and planning. She is challenging herself to visit new parts of the urban and urban-adjacent trail system and to keep an observational notebook in order to record what’s there and how it fits into open space planning. This might even turn into a writing or poetry project! The “guidebooks” are:
