OUR STORY
We met through mutual friends and quickly bonded over our love of hiking and the outdoors. From hiking new trails to camping in some amazing spots, we’ve shared plenty of adventures along the way.
Now we want to share that passion with others, explore new places and help more people get out there and enjoy what the world has to offer.
Why we do this?
We love hiking, exploring new places and meeting people along the way. Life’s too short not to get out there and experience what the world has to offer.
For us, hiking is about more than just the trails. It’s about the experiences, the laughs, the friendships and the memories we make along the way.
Life’s an adventure. Let’s get out there and make the most of it, one hike at a time.

Luke Weller
About
Luke has always loved travelling, hiking and exploring new places. He enjoys sharing his experiences with others, especially those who are new to hiking or need a bit of confidence to get started.
He’s always happy to lend a hand, share a few tips and have a laugh along the way. And if a bear shows up, he’ll probably be the first to deal with it (or at least run the fastest!).
For Luke, it’s all about getting outdoors, meeting new people and making memories along the way.
