The Spearhead Calendar
WELCOME AND THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING!
SCROLL DOWN TO THE SPEARHEAD CALENDAR SETUP INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.
Setup is very easy, takes just 2-3 minutes and uses your current calendar app.
What is the Spearhead Adventure Calendar?
This calendar is the single most valuable feature we provide on this entire website. No joke.
It’s a FREE gem reserved only for you lucky Inner Circle adventurers who found it.
MISS OUT ON ANY BUCKET LIST ADVENTURES LAST YEAR?
Havasupai Falls, Half Dome, Mt. Whitney, and ALL backpacking trips in your favorite national parks REQUIRE wilderness permits. Plan on hiking the John Muir Trail? You’ll need a permit there too.
With the rise of social media, permits are getting harder to acquire every year.
Most of these must-hit permit deadlines quietly occur at the beginning of each year, before anyone is thinking about their distant upcoming summer vacation plans. Often times if missed, you’ll forego your shot at that adventure for the entire season. Only the most attentive and diligent outdoorsmen/women get first choice with these permits.
Now, you’ll have an advantage over EVERY other ambitious explorer in the southwest. I use it religiously each season, resulting in countless adventures I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
WITH THIS SPEARHEAD ADVENTURE CALENDAR, YOU’LL NEVER FORGET AN UPCOMING PERMIT DEADLINE.
FOR EXAMPLE!
Reaching the unforgettable summit of Half Dome in Yosemite National Park requires a wilderness permit.
What’s on this Calendar?
No-miss annual wilderness permit deadlines for the upcoming adventure season
Popular events from each area (i.e. Red Bull Rampage, Mammoth Oktoberfest, etc.)

Adding Your Spearhead Calendar
Setup
The instructions below will guide you on syncing the Spearhead Adventure Calendar to your own calendar app…
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING GOOGLE CALENDAR
…for overall ease of use, but iCal (Apple) and Microsoft Outlook support our Calendar as well.
The Spearhead Adventure Calendar will upload as its own item under your My Calendars tab, which you can show or hide at any time per your preference in the moment.
Why Google Calendar?
Microsoft Outlook and iCal currently DO NOT support regular text formatting on Google Calendar events. As a result, event descriptions will show up as raw HTML code. Unfortunately, this is a chosen display preference on Google’s end and does not currently have a workaround available.
You’ll have a MUCH better experience using Google Calendar instead of having to sort through HTML code with the other app options.
Google Calendar (Recommended)
