Springtime sun on the TCT in Azerbaijan - the hills between Grizdehne and Khinaliq are getting green! Planning a hike on the trail this summer? We've got new trail notes & resources on our website, including several new trail sections in Azerbaijan, loads of resources about planning, food, and logistics, and our hiker support forum for those planning longer journeys. Check it out and join us on the trail at the link below - and don't forget to support our work to build and maintain the trail this summer! https://transcaucasiantrail.org/en/explore-the-trail/ 📷️: @farlinnn on the TCT between Grizdehne and Khinaliq (fb)

The TCT is a community effort - and we need your help to keep it going! 🌿 Since 2016, the TCT network has opened more than 1,750 km of the long-distance trail, connected over 150 communities, trained 60 local crew leaders, and mobilized over 30,000 volunteer hours to improve the trails of the Caucasus. And we're just getting started. ⛰️ But after most of our 2025 funding was slashed in the U.S. funding cuts, we need your help to sustain the trail and keep moving forward. 🚨 This month, hikers around the world have been mobilizing in support of the TCT-- and we hope you'll join them! We're in the ✨️final week✨️ of our May Hike-a-Thon, but still have a ways to go towards our $15,000 fundraising goal. If you want to keep the trail that we all love open and maintained, please support the May Hike-a-Thon fundraiser today! Every bit counts in our efforts to continue maintaining and expanding the trail. 💪🏼 Hit that link below to show your support for the TCT today - and we'll see you on the trail! 💚 https://donorbox.org/2025-virtual-hike-a-thon (fb)
