Outdoors Together: Building an Inclusive Hiking Community

At Outdoors Together®, we’re more than just a hiking group—we’re a community where everyone’s story matters. Founded by Angie Isaza, a certified Hiking field guide from Outward Bound Canada in British Columbia, we blend adventure with inclusivity in every step. From beginners finding their trail legs to seasoned explorers chasing the next horizon, Outdoors Together® is a place to connect, grow, and thrive. Because out here, the only thing that matters is our shared love for the wild and the people we share it with.

Our Story

Outdoors Together® was born from a journey that could have broken you but instead ignited something extraordinary. When Angie Isaza was diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer, nature became her refuge. Through the toughest days of chemotherapy, hiking wasn’t just a passion—it was her sanctuary, a reminder of strength, resilience, peace, and the beauty of being alive. But as Angie sought connection within hiking communities, she often encountered subtle barriers—an unspoken sense of exclusion that left women, LGBTQ+, and people from diverse ethnic backgrounds feeling out of place.

That’s why Outdoors Together® exists – because no one should ever feel unwelcome in the wild. Angie built this community to break down those walls, celebrate diversity, and create a space where every step is a step forward, together. Whether you’re seeking healing, adventure, a community of like-minded individuals, or a place to call home, you belong here. You belong everywhere. United by summits, bound by shared stories.

What Makes Us Different?

Inclusivity at Our Core

Outdoors Together® was built on the belief that nature belongs to everyone. We walk our talk – not just in our personal lives but in the standards we bring to our community. Authenticity is the foundation of Outdoors Together®, as real and grounding as Mother Nature herself. Whether you’re from a community that’s often overlooked or simply seeking a space where you can show up as your whole self, you’re not just welcomed here—we get you. We’ve navigated those same challenges of feeling out of place, and here, you’re valued for who you are.

Whether you’re lacing up your hiking boots for the first time or chasing your next summit, our adventures are designed to meet you where you are. From the rugged mountains and glaciers of Canada to the sweeping landscapes of Patagonia, every itinerary is thoughtfully crafted to inspire exploration, growth, and connection with the wild.

Connection Beyond the Trails

Outdoors Together® isn’t just about where we go; it’s about who we become along the way. These aren’t just hikes—they’re opportunities to build community, share stories, and create friendships that last long after the trail ends. Here, your voice matters, your journey is honored, and you’ll always have a place to belong.
