We outsource our guided experiences to local Montana guides, to help benefit as many businesses as possible.
Some of our veterans need rides to and from our trips. While we try our best to accomodate, we can always use volunteers to drive our veterans.
We want to get as many veterans as possible healing using the outdoors, if your organization has trips too- let us know. We are always looking for ways to help more people.
Your support and contributions will enable us to meet our goals and fund our mission. Without donations like yours, these trips wouldn't be possible.
