Our mission

Our mission at Get Outside is to empower others to explore the outdoors, challenge themselves, learn new skills, and have fun doing it.

We focus on getting everyone out exploring, connecting, and growing. The Get Outside experience doesn’t end with the adventure, rather, that’s where it begins.

Our vision

We see a future filled with adventure, community support, and a whole lot of laughter. We want to see more women outside in leadership roles, inspiring other women to do the same.

We believe it is our responsibility as locals, leaders, and adventurers to maintain an active social conscience. We are committed to supporting the outstanding community around us. We hope you will feel the same!

Who we are

We are very fortunate to work with such amazing people! These fine people are the reason why we can say we offer unforgettable and professional experiences. Get Outside remains committed to mentoring guides through their training and hiring the people who share similar values and show the highest level of care for the guests.

What we do

We specialize in creating unforgettable hiking, backpacking, and snowshoeing adventures for all experience levels. While we proudly offer women-only trips to foster connection, empowerment, and community, we also host co-ed experiences—because sharing the trail with the important people in our lives, regardless of gender, makes the journey even more meaningful. Everyone is welcome here, and every adventure is crafted to inspire, challenge, and connect.
