Mazamas

From rim to river. Rim to river. Then back again.

The Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim asks a lot of you, but it gives even more in return. Six days. More than 40 miles. Over 10,000 feet of climbing. Endless canyon views, changing light, and a route you'll be talking about for years.

This October, the Mazamas are heading south for an unforgettable trek, with a night at the North Rim Lodge before making the return journey.

Your registration includes transportation, accommodations, permits and some meals.

Only 3 participant spots are available, so if this adventure has been on your list, now's the time.

📅 October 4–9, 2026

You could spend Labor Day weekend wondering where to hike.

Or you could spend it circling Oregon's highest peak.

Round the Mountain is three days of alpine trails, wildflower meadows, volcanic landscapes and the kind of conversations that only happen miles from the trailhead.

We've already figured out the route, the shuttle and the lodging.

All that's left is for you to say yes. Learn more and register at mazamas.org/rtm

Home | Mazamas Join our Portland-based community of over 2,500 people and unlock access to hikes, climbs, classes, and more. Our members have been inspiring others to love and protect the mountains for more than 130 years through adventure, learning, leadership development, and stewardship.

Before the next boot prints, there are the hands that make the trail passable.

Last weekend, 17 incredible volunteers spent a combined 165 hours caring for the Mazama Trail. Together, they cleared 82 downed trees, reopened sections of trail and helped ensure future hikers can experience this historic route for years to come.

Built to celebrate our nonprofit's centennial, the Mazama Trail has become part of our legacy. Every season, volunteers return to clear it, repair it and care for it — ensuring this special route continues to connect people with the mountain we love.
A huge thank-you to everyone who sweated, sawed, hauled and gave their weekend to the trail.

We're already talking about another work weekend before fall, possibly even a backpacking trail crew. If spending a weekend giving back to a trail that's given so much to the Mazamas sounds like your kind of adventure, stay tuned.
