The SoCal Six Pack of Peaks challenges you to hike the highest peaks in the region — and make new friends doing it.
I remember feeling kind of like a celebrity in that Chipotle in Upland. It was a Thursday in 2021, and my dog and I had just hiked Cucamonga Peak, an 11.1-mile trek where you gain almost 4,200 feet in elevation. I was exhausted, and about to devour a massive burrito bowl. But the moment I told the guests in line what I'd just done, half the restaurant wanted to see pictures and hear about my experience. I was excited to share, if a little hungry.

Researching online, she stumbled across Hester's challenge and signed up. She felt prepared to complete Mt. Baldy, but was intimidated by others on the list. 'But the fact that it's a challenge — I tend to be a little more of a competitive person so it was exciting,' she said.
