The Denali 5 Summit Challenge takes place this weekend (Aug. 14-16) in Waterville Valley!

Some of New England’s highest peaks surround the Valley.  The Denali Challenge is to hike five of these peaks in one weekend – from Friday through Sunday – and claim the title “Alive After Five”!

This year hikers will be able to choose from a number of different peaks for the five mountain challenge (choose five peaks from the list here). Just make sure the combined altitude equals or exceeds 20,000 feet (the height of Mount Denali in Alaska).

Participation in the weekend is free and everyone is welcome.

Learn more and register at the Info Booth in Town Square on Friday night, Aug. 14, from 6-8 p.m.
