✨It's the return of the Fitness Series! Round #1✨
These hikes are designed to strengthen cardiovascular health and ultimately your pace and stamina on the trails. A pin is available for those who participate in the series and attend the final hike, Cowboy Caves & Beyond!

We run this Fitness Series on a seasonal basis (Spring & Fall) to train up for the annual Summer Charleston Series of 2026.

Hosts: Liz has nearly 800 hikes & Paul has over 500 hikes with VegasHikers; both are co-creators of this Fitness Series and proud alumni of the Summer Charleston Series.

📌 Another challenging hike right from the start! After a 7-8 min walk, we head southeast and begin ascending Boneshaker, which immediately becomes steep and continues to climb without any flat sections for just over a mile before eventually leveling out. Next, we connect to Three Amigos, leading us to the top of Skull (Bob Gnarly), continue to the Overlook, then to Bomb Voyage/Muffin Ridge, and descend Muffin back to the parking lot. Since the goal of this hike is fitness, you'll need to maintain a fast pace.

Carry minimum 2L of water – bring a headlamp or other light source
