Getting Stuff Done

Inclusion in the outdoors matters because:

Everyone should be able to experience the beauty and the peace of the outdoors. Our hope is that our guides provide the peace of mind that allows people to feel more comfortable while hiking in new places.

Five years down the line, it’s our hope that:

We see more diversity on long-distance hiking trails and in the long-distance backpacking community.
