 Expedition Inspiration incorporates a variety of recreational challenges to meet the needs of all levels of participants. For the more experienced, we hold a series of treks and climbs. But for those who just want to get out for a few hours, we hold hikes —"Take-A-Hikes"—in various cities throughout the United States. These moderate hikes allow breast cancer survivors, their families and friends, as well as anyone sympathetic to the cause, to participate and heighten awareness, raise funds and provide hope and support for others. The hikes, which were launched in Seattle in 1995, have been held in Denver, Boise, Los Angeles, Tucson, Sun Valley, Boston and New Hampshire. Attendance ranges from 100 to 800 hikers.
