Mt. Trashmore
The 2023 Trashmore Challenge has begun! Whether you are an avid climber or you are just looking for something fun to do this summer, the Trashmore Challenge is the activity for you. Climbing Cedar Rapids' only "mountain" 140 times is equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain in the world!
