You Don't Need Experience. You Just Need a Place to Start.
Triple Crown Treks was built for hikers who crave something real — a place to start, to connect, and to feel alive again. We teach you everything you need to know, from pitching your tent and filtering water to resupplying food and trusting your own two feet.

Stories From The Trail Family
Hikers, In Their Own Words
“I met 6 strangers. We spent 5 days together in the wilderness, tired and stinky. By the end of the 5 days, we were family and I was looking for any way to hold on to all of them. I will never be the same.”
Mystery

“I absolutely loved going on my first backpacking trip with Katie! She was so understanding and helpful whenever I had any questions! I can't wait to see what future hikes she does.”

Meet Your Founder
My StoryI Had Camped Once Before Hiking the PCT.
I started the Pacific Crest Trail at 22 with almost no backpacking experience — I learned everything as I went. It was hard, humbling, and completely life-changing. Now I guide others through that first step so they don't have to figure it out alone.
