The Mountain Lion Project

Supporting community. Restoring landscapes. Giving back through action.

At Desert Hiking Company, we believe guiding is more than just exploring the Canyon—it’s about showing up when it matters.
In response to the Dragon Bravo Fire and the long-term impacts it will leave on the land and those who live and work in this region, we created The Mountain Lion Project: a fundraising campaign to support ongoing recovery through the Grand Canyon Conservancy’s Disaster Relief Fund.

This effort centers around our Mountain Lion Series T-shirts—100% cotton, designed in-house, and available in 11 unique colorways. When you buy a shirt, you’re not just wearing something beautiful—you’re contributing directly to a cause that matters.
100% of profits go to the Grand Canyon Conservancy.

What This Project Supports

Emergency relief for guides and residents impacted by fire-related closures
Landscape restoration and recovery efforts for damaged areas
Long-term community support in and around the Grand Canyon
Public awareness and education around responsible visitation and seasonal fire impact

Why the Mountain Lion?

The mountain lion moves quietly through the canyons—rarely seen, but always present. It’s a powerful symbol of grace, resilience, and survival in the harshest environments. The design honors that spirit—and through this project, we aim to carry some of that strength into our own recovery as a community.
