Living Journeys 26th Annual Summit Hike
Living Journeys, One of Colorado’s most meaningful summer traditions returns to the Elk Mountains this July
On Saturday, July 26th, hundreds of hikers will gather at Mt. Crested Butte for the Living Journeys 26th Annual Summit Hike — an inspiring, community-driven event supporting individuals and families affected by cancer.
Hosted by Living Journeys, a nonprofit that has served Gunnison Valley residents since 2000, the Summit Hike invites participants to hike to the 12,162-foot summit of Mt. Crested Butte, take a scenic chairlift ride and explore from the top, or enjoy food, music, and festivities at the base. Open to all ages, the event welcomes locals and visitors for a family-friendly day of remembrance, support and celebration.
As national funding for cancer research and support programs faces increasing uncertainty, local organizations like Living Journeys have become more essential than ever. Events like the Summit Hike not only raise critical funds — they strengthen the fabric of support around individuals and families who are navigating one of life’s hardest challenges.
Proceeds from the event directly fund Living Journeys’ year-round cancer support services, including meal delivery, transportation assistance, financial grants, and free therapy for individuals facing a diagnosis — as well as for their families and caregivers.
