To provide black hikers with a quality safe hiking experience in an unfamiliar space.

One day, all black hikers in this country will know that they belong in the outdoor space too.

Although there are many important principles that guide our work, we emphasize the following values as core to our efforts:

Passion: We understand that our success depends on our willingness to keep learning and work toward accomplishing our vision.

Empower: We have a responsibility to ensure that our hikers feel empowered and poised on every adventure they go on.

Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable to eliminate unproductive behavior that decreases a hiker's confidence.

Community: We work towards creating a village within our community so that everyone reaps the benefits of the resources available to them.

Evolving: The work we do will be the difference needed to improve our community and outdoor experience.
