Hike 2 Heal provides outdoor experiences for caregivers through guided hiking, snowshoeing and backpacking trips.
​
The business of caregiving is unavoidable and a necessary part of life. It has moments of tenderness and intimacy, as well as backbreaking work and emotional drain. It changes relationships. Caregivers often experience burnout - a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion that happens while you’re taking care of someone else.
Hike 2 Heal is a place where caregivers can come, take a break, experience the healing power of nature and connect with others on a similar journey.
