Roots to Ridges © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 

Roots to Ridges is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and educating women through back country experiences and education. We value the unique qualities of each woman, and know that each one has an individual set of strengths and skills.

Roots to Ridges is a place where women can come together, work together, and learn together. Our groups are led and coordinated in a safe and respectful environment. We respect the existing experience level for each group member, but also aim to push comfortable limitations to encourage internal and external growth.

Roots to Ridges is not a guide service. It is our main goal to provide and teach essential outdoor skills, in an emotionally safe environment to take appropriate risks. We want every group member to feel confident in the outdoors, and to view themselves as courageous and capable!

We also value a strong community presence. We strive to be recognized as a front runner in women’s outdoor leadership, education, and giving back to the community. Each year we aim to increase community support, increase high quality gear donations to outfit women facing adversity, and increase the frequency of outdoor education courses that we offer to women 14 years old and up.

As we work to serve our mission and our community, it is our main goal to be able to support the dreams of adventurous women, to not have to turn anyone away from an adventure because of financial hardship or a lack of proper gear. We want every woman that comes to us to be able to say YES to life, adventure, and her hearts longing to be free.
