Trail Daze of Summer is Back in 2026!

We're stoked to announce our partnership with On the Road and Off and Black Diamond for the Trail Daze of Summer Stewardship Series — and it's going to be a sweaty, buggy good time chocked full of type 2 fun!

This series of Trail Daze events leans into everything that makes summer in the Southeast... special. The heat. The bugs. The poison ivy. We embrace the suffer fest and give back to the climbing areas we love — so they're in stellar shape come climbing season this fall.

Here's How It Works:

Attend a Trail Daze event = Score awesome on-site giveaways from Black Diamond

Attend any 3 trail days this summer (doesn't have to be a Trail Daze event) = Get entered to win big prizes at our End of Daze Party on August 29th in Boone, NC

The TLDR: Show up to a Trail Daze event and walk away with free stuff. Can't make a Trail Daze event? Attend at least 3 trail days this summer and you're in the running for epic prizes at the end-of-summer party on August 29th in Boone.

2026 Trail Daze Events Calendar

Event 1 — Laurel Knob | June 6th: We're starting strong. This one features a 2-mile approach hike through the gorgeous Panthertown Valley to get to the worksite. Come ready to embrace a big day and put in work to improve the climbers walk off the trail. Sign up here.

Event 2 — Sauratown Mountain | July 11th: Expect blazing sunshine and temperatures to match on this beautiful northern Piedmont mountain. Sunscreen and water are not optional. Sign up here.

Event 3 — Howard Knob | August 29th: We are SO stoked to be working with incredible partners in the High Country to help build a trail to new climbing access at Howard Knob. More details about this Trail Daze event to come, but save the date now!

The End of Daze Party will follow in nearby Boone, NC (exact location TBA). This party will include an epic raffle stacked with giveaways for all attendees who have come to 3 or more trail days during summer 2026. You don't want to miss this party. Sign up coming soon!
