Hikers Initiative

My husband Brett and I were both born in Utah and have lived here all our lives. We love to travel and spend time outdoors any chance we get. We've been to some really great places and hiked some amazing trails, but I have to say that some of the best trails that we've experienced are right here in our own backyard. Utah has an incredibly diverse landscape that makes it exciting to hike wherever you are in the state.  We have a boxer named Luna, and she's our little hiking buddy! She loves to be on the trail just as much (if not more!) than we do. 

Hikers Initiative is a passion project. We love hiking and spending time out in nature. We started Hikers Initiative in 2018 as a way for us to share our love of the outdoors with others and try to encourage people to get out and explore. 

Our goal for this site is to provide helpful information about the hikes that we've conquered so that you know what to expect going in to each one, and to provide inspiration based on our adventures. So many websites out there have information that can be misleading, so we wanted to create a space where people could find information based on our experiences because we want you to be successful on your hiking journey and we hope that this is a place that you can find information that will help with that. Check back frequently for updates! We'll always add new information as our adventures continue.

Welcome! We're excited to have you here!
