Who
we are
Inward Bound Treks was founded on the belief that true healing and transformation happen when we step off the familiar paths and explore new terrains—both inside and out. By leading small groups on multi-day, off-trail backpacking adventures, we create space for introspection, healing, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Our treks are carefully crafted to go beyond the typical outdoor experience. We specialize in off-trail routes to take you away from crowds and into nature’s untouched beauty. This challenging but safe environment allows participants to deepen their self-awareness, confront personal obstacles, and embrace new perspectives.
Our treks are more than an escape—they are a journey to discover the resilience, clarity, and peace within.
What we offer

Testimonials
“One of the most surprising gifts of this trek was the wisdom I gained from the other participants. Hearing their stories, struggles, and breakthroughs during our group check-ins made me feel less alone in my own journey. We weren’t just trekking together; we were growing together. The connections I made on this trip continue to inspire me, and I’m so grateful for the insights they shared. It was a powerful reminder of how much we can learn from others when we’re open to it.”
Keith Finley
“I used to avoid the unknown at all costs—it scared me. But going off-trail with Inward Bound Treks changed that. Facing steep climbs, dense vegetation, and unpredictable terrain pushed me in ways I never thought I could handle. With the support of the guides and group, I didn’t just overcome my fears—I transformed them into a source of strength. Now, whenever life throws me a curveball, I think back to those moments on the trek and remind myself: I’ve got this!”
Monet Goode
“Inward Bound Treks completely shifted my perspective on life. I arrived feeling stuck, uncertain about my next steps, but the trek gave me the clarity and courage to embrace a new direction. Being off-trail mirrored the uncertainty I’d been avoiding in my career and relationships, but the challenges showed me I was stronger than I realized. I left with not just a renewed sense of purpose but a specific plan for how to move forward. This was more than a trek—it was the turning point I desperately needed.”
