Visit Carson City seeks adventurers for Carson to Canada Quest with $5,000 prize
Are you an avid hiker? An adventure enthusiast? Or, like Forrest Gump, do you just enjoy traversing thousands of miles to clear your head?
Visit Carson City is offering $5,000 to an adventurer willing to complete the Carson City to Canada Quest, a 1,600 mile hike that begins in Carson City, connects to the Pacific Coast Trail by way of the Capitol to Tahoe Trail, and through to Canada.
Experienced hikers who are looking to push their limits and document their travels along the Pacific Crest Trail are asked to apply, and each solo hiker who completes the challenge will walk away with $5,000.
The application period is open now through May 31, 2024 at 5 p.m.
The review period will then begin and finalists will be contacted in late July.
The Carson City to Canada Quest will take place in Summer 2025, with an exact date dependent on snowpack in the mountains and overall weather conditions.
