How did you start your business?
One day we were telling each other stories about our own hiking adventures back in high school with our family and friends. Then a few weeks later a friend invited us to go on a hike and then we realized how much we loved it and started doing it every week religiously, rain or shine, the adventure gave us a rush as we started to discover these hidden gems that our Mountains have to offer Another friend who operates Airbnb saw our posts and recommended some of her guests to us and from there we decided to turn our passion into a business
