I’m continually in awe of the care that goes into maintaining some pretty rugged trails in Juneau that I get to enjoy for free.

In Juneau there’s and organization, Trail Mix, that conquers this epic task. They’ve had some cool fundraisers lately, including a virtual auction where I got outbid on everything I wanted. To support their mission, I signed up fort heir winter 2021 Hike for a Pint challenge!

Basically you pay an entry fee, and you get a passport of hikes. If you complete 5 of the 7 hikes, by mid-March you get a free pint of beer or gelato at a local Juneau business!

There are so many things I like about this. Supporting the nonprofit and local businesses, check. Beer and gelato, check. Completing a checklist, check check.

Also, I got a silicone pint glass. I didn’t know that was a thing.

I’m excited to try out some more new hikes, and of course get that free pint of calorie-free gelato (because of all of those hikes I did first)!
