Every June, athletes from across the country gather in Ashland, Oregon, for one of the most exhilarating (and gnarly) endurance challenges in the region—the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb. This iconic race in the Pacific Northwest offers participants a unique opportunity to ascend from the heart of downtown Ashland to the summit of Mt. Ashland. The race requires some serious grit to finish and is a celebration of the local trails and community.

Pacific Crest Trail hikers hit the trail after a relaxing recovery and resupply stay at The Columbia Hotel in Ashland, Oregon.

The Columbia Hotel is hoping to set a new precedent for the support of Pacific Creat Trail Hikers who are looking to explore this beautiful area of Southern Oregon. Our goal is to go out of our way to ensure these intrepid travelers find a relaxing solace and offer services to support their hike and journey.
