Built in the Adirondacks. Made for the Mountains.
46 Outdoors was founded by coach, guide, and outdoorsman James Appleton to solve one problem: most training programs aren’t built for the mountains.
We believe strength, grit, and preparation are earned—and they start before you ever hit the trail. Through our coaching, programs, and resources, we help hikers like you build the strength, endurance, and mindset needed to take on real challenges—on the trail and in life.
Whether you’re aiming to finish the 46, tackle a long-distance backpacking trip, or just feel confident hiking on the weekend—you deserve to feel strong doing it.
Because stronger mountain adventures are better mountain adventures.
Trust me on this: the Adirondack Park has this uncanny ability to bring out the best in us. It’s not just the fresh air or the stunning views, but the whole ADK experience that shapes us, challenges us, and makes us better.
At 46 Outdoors we aim to set people up to experience this Park for themselves so they can learn the lessons these mountains, rivers, and lakes have to teach them.
