Giving Back to the Pacific Crest Trail
Triple Crown Treks exists because of the Pacific Crest Trail. Every mile we hike, every trip we guide, and every experience we offer is made possible by this extraordinary public landscape.
of our net profits
Triple Crown Treks is committed to contributing approximately 10% of net profits toward ongoing trail maintenance and restoration, conservation and environmental protection efforts, and long-term stewardship of the Pacific Crest Trail. This commitment applies to all guided trips and is an ongoing part of how we do business. In a season with no net profit, we won't claim a donation that didn't happen — we'd rather be accurate than impressive.
Triple Crown Treks proudly supports the mission of the Pacific Crest Trail Association. We are not officially affiliated with or endorsed by the PCTA.
Annual Guide Trail Magic Trip
Each year, our guides head back out to the Pacific Crest Trail — not to lead trips, but to give back. We set up for a few days along the trail with food, drinks, and whatever hikers might need that day. It's a chance to support people in the middle of their thru-hike, hear their stories, and be part of the community that inspired everything we do. It's also one of the only times each year our full guide team gets to be out on trail together — no itinerary, no pressure, just showing up, giving back, and sharing the experience.
