Sydney Williams, Hiking My Feelings

I love this container that I’ve created. It’s catchy, it feels like a cool way to talk about mental health, without talking about mental health and scaring people.

Tiffany Soukup, Vagabond Way

I went to work at 10, got out at 6, came home, packed a suitcase. And a 8 o’clock that night, we started driving west…I lived on the floor next to a washer and dryer all summer and it was the best time of my life.

Chrystsonthy Drellos, Blue Sky MTB

If I had $1 for every time I wanted to throw my bike into the woods and stomp off, I’d be a millionaire.

Victoria Amico, Plus Sized Outdoors

My entire world just cracked open. And it made me realize that I am so much more capable of things than I realized.

Heather Kinal, Ride Cosmic Dirt & Rooted MTB Festival

The way I operate is when I’m excited about something, I’m very passionate, and I go all in and try to bring as many people with me as possible.

Ranger Emma Mitchell of the Lowell National Historical Park

I started volunteering at Boston National Historical Park, and gave myself a little bit of what it was like to work in an urban setting….and I actually didn’t hate sitting in a historic spot that was mostly about the history of people, rather than rocks and animals.

Paula, Trish & Jen Visit Cedar Grove Sauna

“WHOOOOOOAAOO!” “HOLY SH*T” “WOW” “WOW” “This is amazing!”

Ava Baptiste, TriState Hikers

Sometimes when someone comes for a hike, they just want to get something off their chest, or they just want to be free to talk. I think it’s so much easier to talk to a stranger than people you know… and sometimes that’s what people need, just a listening ear.

Sandy Noble

My main sport, for 31 years now, it’s been mountain biking. Even after after my husband’s death, within a few days, I was in the woods….anybody that’s been through anything, you know, exercise is just a great way to relieve a lot of stress and sadness.
