about us
The Alpenglow Trail Co., founded in 2025, is a Portland-based outfit built by and for mountain movers, light chasers, and back of the pack champions. We run, hike, climb, and grind not for medals, but for meaning. For connection.
We create trail experiences that go beyond performance. Time outside becomes a vehicle for healing, growth, and real connection to yourself, to others, and to the wild. Whether you are pushing your limits or finding your way back to movement, you belong here.
At the heart of it all is community and a really good cup of coffee.

partners
Our partners are hand selected because they align with the way we move through the world: thoughtful, community driven, and rooted in quality experiences outside. From coffee to trail essentials, everything we share is chosen with intention and connected to the trails + coffee lifestyle.
a Portland company known for their thoughtful approach to sourcing, roasting, and craft. Their commitment to quality and intentionality aligns deeply with the spirit of The Alpenglow Trail Co. and the experiences we create around trails + coffee. At our trailhead gatherings and pour over pop ups, Big Doug, our 1995 Chevy Supervan turned coffee van, brews fresh regular and decaf pour overs before and after time on the trail. It’s a simple ritual that brings people together, slows things down, and reminds us that some of the best moments outside happen around a really good cup of coffee.
Snow Peak has long inspired the way we think about gathering outside. Their philosophy blends thoughtful design, functionality, and connection in a way that feels deeply aligned with The Alpenglow Trail Co. Whether it’s brewing coffee at our pour over pop ups using Snow Peak coffee gear or creating welcoming spaces at Goat Rocks Basecamp with their camp kits and cooking essentials, their products help bring warmth, intention, and comfort to the experience. It’s gear designed not just for being outside, but for fully enjoying the time spent there together.
We were thrilled to discover Hodos Labs, a skincare brand created with runners and active recovery in mind. Their products are thoughtfully handcrafted in Portland, Oregon using clean ingredients and trail inspired scents that feel perfectly aligned with the world we’re building around movement, recovery, and time spent outside. Whether you’re coming off a long run, a day in the mountains, or just looking for simple products that actually feel good to use, Hodos Labs has become one of our favorite trail side essentials. You’ll find a selection of their products in our trail side shop at pour over pop ups and events throughout the season.
