Exploring the Great Outdoors Together
The outdoors isn’t necessarily a space where everyone feels welcome.
So, we wanted to take the time to share some resources that helped us learn how to make the outdoors more welcoming and what organizations you should know about because they are doing amazing work! It is important to learn about the issues to best know how to resolve them so that everyone feels confident to book any one of our trips.
