Every great adventure starts with a story.

The HERizon Adventures origin story dates back to 2021. In February of that year, Jana posted in a Colorado Springs hiking group looking to connect with a few women around age 50 to hike with on a regular basis. That post blew up, with over 100 comments from women in the same age group who were all interested in getting together for hikes. The response was overwhelming (clearly there was a need that wasn’t being met!) so Jana created the CO Springs Hiking Gals group to get 50-ish women out on the trails together. Julie joined the group a few weeks later, and we met on the second hike. Long story short, we’ve been co-leading the Hiking Gals group for the past 4+ years. The group has grown to over 9,000 members and has organized 850+ group hikes, connecting countless women for hiking adventures and friendship. It’s been life-changing for us and for so many others. We’re excited to take what we’ve learned over the course of leading hundreds of hikes and share it with adventurous women looking for curated hiking experiences!
