Why we're here
We are passionate about two things: 1) adventuring outdoors, and 2) empowering women.
We feel the most alive when we're hiking among towering trees, rafting through deep canyons, and sharing stories around crackling campfires. When we explore the outdoors, we deepen our connection not only to the earth, but to ourselves.
