trail co.

The Alpenglow Trail Co., a small Portland–based outfit, is a crew of mountain movers, light chasers, and back-of-the-pack champions who run, hike, climb, and grind. Not for medals, but for meaning. For connection. For the glow that only comes after the hard parts. Here, trail running and hiking aren’t always about performance goals, but serve as vehicles for healing, growth, and togetherness. It’s a space where everyone—no matter their pace, path, or starting point—has a place in the wild, with a special heart for emerging and recovering athletes finding their way back to movement.

We offer planned and custom trail experiences designed to get everyone outside, whether you’re craving a solo reset, a group adventure, or something in between. From one-way trail excursions with shuttle support to multi-day retreats with base camps, we handle the logistics so you can focus on the good stuff. Want to dial in transportation, trailhead shuttles, nourishing meals, camping setups, or on-trail support? Add any (or all) of these to your adventure for total freedom and flexibility. At the heart of it all is a soul-fueled community that believes in the power of the outdoors to reconnect, restore, and remind us what we’re made of.
