Established at the height of the pandemic in 2020, we have led the effort to inspire and guide people toward finding peace in the wilderness. We advocate for bettering our lives through connecting with nature.

Our Mission

At Hail to the Trail, our mission is to reconnect people with the natural world—one step, one trail, one story at a time.

We believe that the outdoors is for everyone, and that access to nature is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our purpose is to inspire a lifelong love of hiking and environmental stewardship by:

• Educating and Empowering new and aspiring adventurers with accessible resources and trail guidance

• Building Community through inclusive group hikes, shared experiences, and outdoor storytelling

• Protecting What We Love by promoting sustainable practices and advocating for the preservation of public lands

Through every mile hiked and every path shared, we aim to cultivate deeper appreciation, awareness, and action in support of our planet.

Join us in forging a community that hikes with purpose and honors the journey.

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”

— John Muir

About Us

At Hail to the Trail, we’re more than a hiking group — we’re a community of explorers, conservationists, and storytellers united by our love for the great outdoors.

Our group hikes bring people together to experience some of the planet’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. From navigating the otherworldly terrain of Death Valley to scrambling through the surreal boulders of Joshua Tree, we believe that every trail tells a story — and we’re here to help you live yours.

We've trekked the Laugavegur Trail in Iceland, crossed the Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim, summited Mount Whitney, and conquered the cables of Half Dome — not just for the adventure, but to honor the land beneath our boots and the community beside us.

We proudly join causes like the Make-A-Wish Trailblaze Challenge, where our miles make miracles. Every step we take is an opportunity to give back, celebrate resilience, and foster deeper appreciation for the natural world.

Our Purpose

• To organize meaningful group hikes that spark personal growth and collective connection

• To advocate for the preservation of trails, ecosystems, and public lands

• To inspire stewardship through action, education, and shared outdoor experiences

Whether you're chasing a summit or simply seeking peace in nature, you're welcome here. Together, we hike with intention — leaving only footprints and taking with us a renewed commitment to protect what we love.

Join us on the trail. The journey is just beginning.
