Mission

At Follow the Footsteps, we’re all about connecting people with the great outdoors through awesome adventures. Now, we’re super excited to level up our mission by making sure everyone, especially those living with disabilities, can join in on the fun. We believe that the beauty of mountain trails and epic outdoor events should be open to everyone, and we’re here to make that happen!

We imagine a world where every trail is welcoming and accessible to everyone. That means we’re not just fixing paths and parking spots; we’re making sure everyone feels included and excited about hitting the trails. Access to nature is a big deal, and we’re all in on tearing down the barriers—whether they’re physical or just old-school thinking—that keep people from exploring.

We’re here to spark the adventurous spirit in people living with disabilities and their awesome support crews. We want to see everyone diving into epic outdoor events and exploring the US National Trails System like never before. With a little inspiration and a lot of encouragement, we’re sure everyone can take on new challenges and enjoy the great outdoors.

We’re all about teaming up with organizations, communities, and trail enthusiasts to tackle accessibility issues and find cool solutions. Whether it’s making parking easier, clearing up trail obstacles, or pushing for better policies, we’re on it!

We’re also big on sharing knowledge and supporting each other. From spreading the word about why accessible trails matter to offering tips on trail management, we’re here to help everyone get involved and make a difference. Education and collaboration are key, and we’re excited to learn and grow with you.

We’re committed to keeping things fresh and effective. We listen to your feedback, explore new ideas, and track our progress to make sure we’re making a real impact.

At Follow the Footsteps, we’re not just about trails—we’re about making the outdoors accessible and fun for everyone. Let’s make sure every adventure is open to all!
