Alpenglow Adventures is a non-profit organization that organizes hiking trips that bring people, who can
and who cannot walk, together on the world's most spectacular hiking trails. Our participants help individuals,
who ride in specially designed devices that are pushed and pulled on a variety of trails, to reach life changing goals.
