About the City to Summit Brand
What is Important to Us
Our mission is to provide inspiration and practical information for sustainable adventure from urban sprawl to remote mountain peaks.
Fitting Travel into Normal Life
Life can be busy. Family, work, and other responsibilities can make it seem impossible to find even a moment to yourself, let alone time for travel. However, we have found that reshaping the way you think about travel and your day to day life opens up a whole world of opportunity.
Becoming an Everyday Adventurer
It can be difficult to think of everyday life as an adventure, but adventure does not solely come from extravagant jet-setting or mind-blowing experiences. The best way to cultivate and maintain your sense of adventure is through appreciation of small moments of newness; whether that newness comes from hiking a new trail in the same woods, doing something you never thought physically or mentally possible, or taking that once-in-a-lifetime trip. Adventure comes from within, your own sense of accomplishment and awe. This philosophy of adventure is what drives City to Summit in encouraging everyone to become an Everyday Adventurer.
Who We Are
A Biochemist and an Engineer…

With a love of adventure.
Whether it’s hiking another 4000 foot peak, attending a bluegrass performance, or exploring another city, we are always on the go. We make it a priority in our lives to find adventure wherever it may be hiding. When we get busy, that adventure may be as simple as lacing up our hiking boots and heading down the road to a local state park. But when we have the time, our adventures send us around the world.
With a passion for nature.
Living in the city of Boston, MA for the last 6 years has shown us both just how important it is to connect with nature. Despite all the riches of a city, there is nothing that can top the beautiful displays of Mother Nature. Whether hiking through waist deep snow for views of a valley blanketed in winter or spotting a woodpecker in Boston Common, nature never ceases to amaze us. We strive to spend as much time outdoors as possible.
With a commitment to sustainability.
Climate change is a very real threat to the landscapes we hold as an integral component to our joy in life. We make sure to follow the principles of “Leave No Trace” every time we step foot outdoors. Our responsibility is to help maintain the incredible natural landscapes and biologically diverse ecosystems that cover this planet. We carry this sentiment throughout all of our ventures.
