Warrior Expeditions provides veterans with everything they need to complete a long distance outdoor expedition at no cost to the veteran.
For the last 5 years, The American Legion Post 584 in Big Bear Lake hosts the Veterans that are trekking the PCT Trail from San Diego to Canada when they come thru the Big Bear Valley with housing, food and transportation while they rest before heading north.

Support the Veteran’s efforts at the American Legion in Big Bear Lake for dinner on Saturday night.

In 1948, Earl Shaffer told a friend he was going to “walk off the war” to work out the sights, sounds, and losses of World War II. Four months later, Earl Shaffer became the first person to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.
Following in Earl Shaffer’s footsteps and in recognizing the therapeutic effects of long distance outdoor expeditions, Warrior Expeditions created the Warrior Hike, Warrior Bike, and Warrior Paddle programs which are designed to help veterans transition from their wartime experiences.
