The Peak Challenge is a self-paced trail challenge for Northern Utah trail lovers to set a goal to bag all four iconic local Peaks in one season. Ranging in elevation from Malans at 6980 feet all the way to Ben Lomond Peak at 9711 feet. Anyone who has completed any of these four peaks will tell you that they can be a bit of a challenge.
Participants choose when to complete each of the four peaks; Malans, Lewis, Mt. Ogden & Ben Lomond - just like the levels of our TFNU membership program. Peaks can be done any time, and in any order, between June 7th and October 14th. Whether you end up bagging just one or do all four - participants will receive an exclusive peak sticker for each mountain top you reach and an exclusive sticker once all four peaks are completed. Participants bagging all four peaks during that time will also be recognized at the TFNU Fall Trail Mixer October 23rd at the Monarch and receive a pretty cool award.
Registration Fee Includes:
Welcome email with instructions on how to log your peaks with TFNU.
Exclusive Peak Specific Completion stickers - only available once you have successfully bagged and submitted your peak to us. We will have no less than one sticker pick up event each month and times and place will vary. All sticker pick up information will be included in your welcome packet and in the Facebook & Strava Group pages.
Exclusive access to our Peak Challenge Only private Facebook &/or Strava Groups where you can connect with other challengers and share advice for successful summits and trail conditions. These are great places to share tips, look for others to hike with, etc.
New 2025 Peak Flags will be available for check out. Check out a flag, take it with you to the peak, snap a pic and send it back for a chance to be featured on our pages (flag check out will be limited to 7 days maximum).
Monthly gear giveaways provided by TFNU community partners for participants (June - October). Participants will get one entry for each peak bagged up to that point. We will randomly draw from those entries for sweet swag donated by our sponsors and partners.
All fees go to helping TFNU with our mission to plan, promote, construct, maintain and protect non-motorized public trails and related open space in Northern Utah.
