"Though highlander is a long-distance hiking event, it's not just for professional hikers...

but those who love nature and are eager for outdoor activity. Trails are carefully designed by local mountaineers so every trail offers a unique experience and story for you to take home."

"Sustainability, Preservation, & Promotion of Nature"

"Highlander stands for nature preservation and educating participants on the right way to treat nature - by respecting it. Our event promotes natural beauty, healthy living, and enjoying nature. Our philosophy: Take only pictures, leave only footprints. We strive to follow principles of sustainability during Highlander hiking events, nature has given us everything and asked for nothing in return. We can repay our debt to nature by taking care of it and safekeeping it for future generations."

At checkpoints along the routes, Highlanders will set up camp to cook, rest, connect with fellow Highlanders, and talk with stewards on the importance and implementation of sustainability practices.
