Alaska Mountains & Coast A (AKMCA)
It was the last day in the backcountry today! After three days of traipsing through the Alaskan wilderness filling valleys with laughter, games, and trail songs this adventurous crew is back to civilization. They enjoyed a post backcountry treat (Wee B’s an Apogee favorite of course) before the next stage of their adventure begins.
Alaska Mountains & Coast B (AKMCB)
AKMCB took to the glacier today for an epic ice climbing adventure! It’s hard to imagine that much ice in one place until you’re standing on a mountain of it. After a thrilling day on the ice, the group settled into camp for a delicious dinner and games. All in all, a stellar day!
Alps Explorer A (AXA)
T-minus two days left on the TMB! The day began with towering peaks above camp in La Fouly, and our intrepid adventurers climbed their way up to the high alpine lake in Champex where rewarded with stunning views. Tomorrow, they cross the final pass to the pink church where it all began… and where the TMB will come to a close!
Alps Explorer B (AXB)
“Ahhhhhhh,” says the group as they stretch and wake up to a classic French breakfast in a cozy refugio in Orsières. From there, it was down into the valley and up through flower-filled Swiss hills (dreamy, right?) toward Champex, where they reunited with their AXA buddies. Tomorrow morning brings the final pass to the pink steeple in Trient—and the last day of the TMB!
Costa Rica Mountains & Coast (CRMC)
Another day loving life in the lush valley beneath Costa Rica’s tallest mountain. The day kicked off with an epic scavenger hunt, followed by an afternoon exploring a local garden exhibition and sipping on fresh, local juice. Tomorrow, they head deep into the rainforest!
Caribbean Service Puerto Rico (CSPR)
This crew swapped their beach towels for gloves and tools today as they pitched in with local farms and producers. The sun stayed strong, so a cool dip in a waterfall was the perfect way to end the day Caribbean style! Tonight, they’re facing off in a fierce culinary showdown for the title of “Iron Chef.”
Caribbean Service Virgin Islands (CSVI)
These cool cats are settling into their tropical home for the week. This afternoon brought beach explorations and a buffet of local tropical fruits. But the adventure doesn’t stop there tonight, they’re kayaking through glowing bioluminescent bays. Truly magical.
Iceland Mountains & Coast (IMC)
Whew, IMC crushed out the miles today on their challenge hike taking on an epic 12 mile hike! These mountain goats started up early and caught views of Iceland’s sweeping green plains just before the clouds rolled in. They celebrated their final hike with a special dinner and a game of Werewolf. Tomorrow, it’s back to Reykjavík!
Maine’s Downeast Explorer (DEX)
Today’s the big day, Katahdin, here they come! The weather looked promising, and the team was ready: up early, out of camp fast, one foot in front of the other. What they didn’t expect? A summit before noon. Round of applause. What can’t they do? This blogger may never find out, they are unstoppable!
Vermont to Montreal (VM)
The miles are flying by for this group of Vermonsters. They cruised to their campsite by causeway, took in the lake breeze on the ferry, and stopped for a classic Maple Creemee at a Farm. Next stop: Canada!
