This summer has been staggeringly hot. Heat waves have shattered records across the country over the past year. Right now California's power grid is straining, people are on high alert for flash floods, the Pacific Northwest is sweltering, we're even seeing heat rising in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
In short, the impacts of climate change are already upon us, causing storms, flooding, and dramatic temperature swings. Add to that a recent scientific report that shows we're on the brink of five disastrous tipping points, and the news right now is, frankly, tough to handle.
Protecting the places we live in and love is central to stemming the worst effects of climate change and fostering resilience. I know you're concerned too – so we've got something you can do about it: Step up and join us on City Hike!
How does City Hike work?
The first step is easy – register today! Every dollar raised through City Hike supports the Sierra Club and our planet.
From Sept 23 - Oct 10, City Hike for our planet – anywhere you are! In addition to our flagship events in LA and Boston, we've also created a virtual option so you can participate wherever you are.
Use the AllTrails app to find a great hike near you, or create your own new experience. (We've already built custom routes in Boston and Los Angeles!)
Your $35 City Hike ticket comes with a Sierra Club membership or renewal. Upgrade to a $50 ticket and we'll give you a City Hike T-shirt (supplies are limited) and the first 150 people to raise $150 earn a City Hike tote bag (Design by wildlogic)!
Looking forward to seeing you on the City Hike trails!
