Alaska Mountains & Coast (AKMC)

“Glacier Glow and Goodbye Core”

The crew made their way from Seward to Anchorage today, soaking in the last of Alaska’s big views along the way. They spent the afternoon exploring the city and sharing one last dinner together. A full-circle kind of day and a sweet sendoff for the part of the group heading home tonight.

Alps Explorer A (AXA)

“Snack-Stocking Summit-Dreamers Tuesday Morning”

Today was all about gearing up – mentally, physically, and snack-ily – for the Tour du Mont Blanc. The crew hit the grocery stores of Martigny with one goal: stock up on trail fuel (and maybe a little extra chocolate). Packs are packed and everyone is feeling ready for the miles ahead. Tomorrow, they hike!

Alps Explorer B (AXB)

“Euro Peak Playlist ft. Sturdy Boots”

This crew of expert hikers kicked off the Tour du Mont Blanc strong, taking on big climbs, wide-open meadows, and postcard-worthy views with confidence. First-day miles flew by as they settled into trail life, adjusting packs and pace like pros. Tonight, they’re camping in the French Alps – tired, happy, and ready to do it all again tomorrow.

Colorado’s Rocky Mountains (CRM)

“Fresh Altitude and First Day Feels”

These explorers touched down in Colorado and wasted no time, loading up in the van and heading straight for Rocky Mountain National Park. With mountain views out the window and new friendships forming fast, the adventure officially began. Safe to say, this crew is ready to take on the trails.

Costa Rica Mountains & Coast (CRMC)

“Sun-Warmed Snorkel-core Tuesday Afternoon”

The group spent the day on a snorkel tour around Caño Island – a protected island off of Costa Rica’s west coast. The wildlife sightings were top notch, with colorful fish and rays drifting through the water. They had a great time soaking in the tropical sunshine after, and are rounding out the night with a delicious meal.

Caribbean Service Puerto Rico (CSPR)

“Eco-Steward Glow with Bug Spray Undertones”

Another full day of service with Corredor Ecologico del Noreste had the crew deep in the coastal forest, working hard and learning lots along the way. Tonight, they are preparing for the morning’s journey back to San Juan. 

Caribbean Service Virgin Islands (CSVI)

“Puppy Promo Energy with Tropical Heart”

The island-adventurers teamed up with Ruff Start today, helping spread word about adoptable dogs and supporting the rescue’s mission across the island. Between good conversations, donations, and a whole lot of puppy love, the smiles were nonstop. A day full of meaningful service – and maybe a few new favorite furry friends.

Europe Coast to Coast (ECC)

“Switchback Serotonin ft. Alpine Air”

Today was a big one – three countries, one ride. The crew pedaled in Austria, Switzerland, and Italy, cruising through switchbacks and chasing epic views the whole way. Legs burned, spirits soared, and the ride ended with a well-earned lake dip in Italy. Today was definitely one for the books.

Northwest Mountains & Coast (NWMC)

“Challenge Hike Magic with Northwest Soul”

The crew took on their challenge hike in Olympic National Park today, and they absolutely smashed it. Every mile was packed with big effort and big payoff! Feet are tired, legs are strong, and the trail stories are already flowing after a full day out in the wild. Now it’s off to sleep – tired, proud, and ready for what’s next.

Pyrenees Mountains & Coast (PMC)

“Trail Mix Crunch and Summit Vibes Tuesday Afternoon”

Today, the crew laced up for one of their biggest days yet, hiking into the valley of Estany St. Maurici and climbing up Portarro d’Espot. The trail delivered it all – rocky climbs, alpine air, sparkling lakes, and views that kept getting better. Every switchback was worth it. Luckily, we’ve got the photos to prove it, and they’re just as epic as the day itself.
