Locations vary · Central Oregon
Run, hike, using a mix of both — we go up.
Vert & Views is a guided trail experience built around elevation, movement, and exploring some of Central Oregon’s most iconic terrain. Each session is designed as a standalone experience, while also building your confidence and strength on the climb over time.
From sustained efforts like Black Butte to more approachable routes like Cline and Pilot Butte, and a signature Fourth of July experience at Smith Rock, each day offers something different—new terrain, new challenges, and new perspectives.
This is not about pace.
It’s about moving well, building strength on the climb, and earning the views along the way.
What to Expect
• Guided trail run/hike with elevation
• Effort-based pacing (run/walk happens)
• Coaching on uphill and downhill movement
• Small group, community-focused environment
• Routes ranging from ~4–12 miles with varying elevation

We don’t chase pace. We chase the climb.
