About Us
Meet The Founder: JUSTIN ALFORD
Hi, I’m Justin — a proud veteran, devoted single father, and lifelong outdoorsman. With years of wilderness experience and experienced in wilderness first aid, I started this business to share the healing, empowering, and inspiring qualities of nature with others.
Raising my daughter to love and respect the outdoors is one of my greatest joys. Now, I want to pass that joy on to you through guided hikes.
