Upcoming Events at AO:

  • October 30 – Halloween Trick or Treat Walk:  Hosted by the School and Community in Partnership (SCIP) from the Albert Bridge Elementary School in Brownsville, come out to the mountain for this fun annual event and walk the Discovery Trail where costumed volunteers will hand out candy.  SCIP will also have games for guests and a food/beverage for purchase.
  • November 21 – Vertical Backyard Trail Race:  This is a “Last Person Standing” endurance event. Participants complete a lap every hour and need to be at the start line on the hour to continue on. The winner is the person who completes one more lap than anyone else.  Each lap is approximately 2.25 miles with 1,209 feet of elevation gain. Participants may complete the elevation requirement by either making three ascents of the 403-foot T-bar
    path or one ascent of the longer hiking-trail route.  If a participant completes 24 hours, they will have accumulated approximately the equivalent elevation gain of climbing from sea level to the summit of Mt. Everest.  This is the second year of the event. In 2025, there were 75 entrants, with 20 runners reaching 24 hours and six remaining after 30 hours. The final two participants reached the 90th hour. This year there will be 100 entrants.
