DIRT DAYS CHALLENGE, a highlight of the event!
Try new adventures! Events run throughout the day for people of all ages. Professionals are available at each station for expert guidance and safety.
Adventures include:

Climbing: A climbing wall set up with routes for the absolute beginner to the accomplished climber. Professional climbers are on-hand to show you tricks of the trade and keep you safe. Hosted by The Spot Boulder Gym.
Fly Casting: Learn how to cast a fly from the best or simply test your aim and distance. Master fly fishermen help you hone your skills. Hosted by Loon Brothers Outrageous Adventures.
Balance: Work you way up from a balance beam to the low slackline (tightrope) to a higher slackline. Balance masters show you the ropes (and hold your hand if necessary). Hosted by the Access Fund.
Pack Run: Patagonia is running the PACK TROT! Participants will be fitted with a backpack with 15% of their body weight inside. The course travels a half mile around the scenic dirt trail between NCAR and the Mesa Trail.
