The Next Summit publishes articles and route guides to help the public safely and sustainably explore the mountains of the American west. We cover topics like hiking, camping, backpacking, mountain safety, and leave no trace practices. Our goals is to help people get outside with the skills and knowledge needed to stay safe and prevent search and rescue missions while limiting their impact on the high peaks and 14ers of Colorado, California, and beyond.
