Blueberry Knoll + Powerline Pass Community Hike

We’re teaming up with Big Ray’s + Baffin to celebrate the launch of Baffin’s new Terrain Collection—available exclusively at Big Ray’s in Alaska.

Join us for a community hike to Blueberry Knoll + Powerline Pass with a special pre-hike boot demo. Baffin will have a full run of sizes from their new Terrain Collection so you can try them on.

🚨 Please note: Boots will not be for sale at the hike, but you can purchase before or after at Big Ray’s.

🎁 Plus—get entered to win a $1,000 Baffin gift card!

How to enter the giveaway:

✅ You must RSVP to this event in advance

✅ Check in with a TrailMates leader at the Baffin tent on hike day

No RSVP + no check-in = no entry, so make sure your name is on the list and you say hi before we start!

This event is open to all—whether it’s your first hike or your fiftieth, you’re welcome here. Expect a laid-back, community-focused vibe with friendly faces and stunning scenery.

We’ll start our hike by heading up Blueberry Knoll—a mellow climb with big reward views. From there, we’ll descend and continue out along Powerline Pass, turning around at the bridge.
