🌄 Seek the Peak 2025 supporting the Mount Washington Observatory!
Join Us for a Day of Hiking, Food, Music, Community and Impact
July 19, 2025
It isn’t just about the adventure — it’s about impact. That’s why we’re proud to announce our sponsorship of the Mount Washington Observatory’s Seek the Peak 2025 fundraising event, where we will host a small group hike and a tour of the Mount Washington Observatory here in our own back yard of New Hampshire. Seek the Peak supports the Mount Washington Observatory’s critical work in extreme weather research, forecasting, and education.
This is more than a hike.
It’s a chance to protect the landscapes we explore, support the science that keeps us safe, and ensure future generations can access the wild places we love.
