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.      Whether it's to touch the Grand Canyon's rushing Colorado River or to feel the frigid thin air of Mount Kilimanjaro's Uhuru peak, we're making these treks possible for anyone.      As a participant of an Alpenglow adventure you may take on any number of critical roles, whether you can walk or whether you can't.

With your upper body strength you may assist in pushing the device into and out of the canyon. With your uplifting and positive spirit you may cheer the team all the way up the mountain. With your steady stamina you may carry cool water and nourishing food for you and your teammates.

And maybe with your legs stretched out and your body strapped firmly to the device you may take a deep breath and take in a trail you never thought you'd traverse...or with your inexperienced hiking feet you may learn and contribute in ways you never thought possible.      Alpenglow Adventures is passionate about opening doors for anyone who wants to break free of personal and environmental boundaries. Our roots lie within the soils of a former Easter Seals facility called Camp KYSOC in Carrollton, Kentucky. Through its final year (2009)KYSOC provided a fully assisted week of overnight camp and activities for youth and adults with disabilities.      Alpenglow Adventures was originally established to offer special "camperships" for individuals who couldn't otherwise afford to attend Camp KYSOC. In the spirit of Alpenglow's original mission of providing funds to promote outdoor adventure for individuals of all abilities and in all financial situations, profits from each trip taken will go into a special fund.      The purpose of this fund will be to provide "adventureships" for potential participants, their family, or their caregivers who may not otherwise be able to cover all costs themselves. In this way, each and every Alpenglow Adventure will help immediate AND future participants achieve life-changing goals.

Alpenglow Adventures seeks to integrate all abilities and capacities; uniting adventurous individuals regardless of ambulatory abilities, embracing enthusiastic participants with or without experience, encouraging promoters of personal growth, and creating ambassadors of team building and trust.
Alpenglow consists of dreamers who live to see people grow. Join us on one of our Adventures and see for yourself. We dare you not to change.
