Enrollment for our 2026 cohort of the Adventurous Reinvention Experience opens in April 2026.

Waitlist members receive early access before the public.

Because this is a small-group experience, we only open 36 total spots each year.

All participants take part in the coaching experience together, while each group heads out on their own backpacking adventure.

There are 12 women per backpacking adventure, and there are three trip options to choose from in July/August (beginner, beginner-mediate, and intermediate trips — you’ll decide which is the best fit upon enrollment).

The Adventurous Reinvention Experience runs over the course of the summer.

The coaching portion of the program begins in May and continues through the end of August, giving us several months to train, grow, and prepare together.

Our in-person backpacking adventures take place later in the summer, typically between late July and mid-August in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains.

We’re still finalizing exact permit dates, but the 2026 trips will fall within this timeframe: July 28th – August 18th

Final dates for each trip will be posted when enrollment opens in April.

We run three separate backpacking groups at different difficulty levels, so you can choose the adventure that best matches your experience and goals.

All backpacking adventures include:

• Stunning locations in the Eastern Sierra

• Carefully planned itineraries with built-in altitude acclimation (even if you're coming from sea level)

• 2-3 expert guides (Allison included!) to help you navigate and learn

• On-trail GPS, navigation, and decision-making skills

• Deep mentorship and support — before, during, and after the trip

This year, we’re opening 36 total spots across three trips.

We’re still finalizing permit dates, but the trips will fall within this timeframe: July 28th – August 18th

Final dates for each trip will be posted when enrollment opens in April.

And while we keep the exact trail locations a surprise until enrollment opens… Trust me, we always choose something unforgettable. 🌄 Be sure to join the waitlist to be first to hear where we are headed!

This experience is open to all abilities (new backpackers included). 

You do NOT need prior backpacking experience in order to join us.

This year we’ll have three groups to choose from:

• Beginner 
• Beginner-mediate 
• Intermediate

So there’s truly something for everyone, no matter your backpacking experience.

You also don’t need to own your own gear already (gear rentals will be available).

Nope! You absolutely don’t need to show up with a fully stocked gear closet.

You’ll have the option to rent all your core backpacking gear — including a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, backpack, and bear canister — through our trusted guide partners. This makes it easy (and affordable) to participate, even if you’re brand new to backpacking or don’t want to invest in gear just yet.

Throughout the program, we’ll also guide you on:

• What’s essential (and what’s not)

• How to rent or borrow gear affordably

• Where to find high-quality second-hand options

• Our favorite brands and resources for gear discounts

Many women in this program have used a mix of rented, borrowed, and budget-friendly gear — and had incredible, empowering experiences on trail. You’ll be fully supported, no matter what you’re starting with.

Yes — 100%. You'll get:

• Group-specific training plans

• Safety + trip planning guidance

• Navigation support (before AND during the trip)

• Outdoor mentorship from experienced guides

You’ll leave this program with more confidence and trail skills than you thought possible — whether you want to plan future solo trips or lead others.

These classes are designed to help you press reset — to reimagine what’s possible in your life, and start creating it.

Together, we’ll:

• Learn the foundational mindset tools I use with my clients

• Take stock of what’s working and what’s not, and why

• Explore new possibilities and choose what to release, keep, or reinvent

• Begin taking bold action toward the version of you that feels most true

We’ll pair that with movement and trail time — because the best insights often come when we’re in motion. This work will stretch you, support you, and open up something new.

Plan for about:

• 1 hour/week in live coaching or class

• 1 additional hour for reflection, journaling, or backpacking prep. Some weeks may include bonus training or trail prep videos.

Replays will be available on an exclusive program portal.

This experience is especially powerful for women who feel like they’re standing at the edge of something new in their life — and want an adventure that matches that energy and growth.

Maybe you're:

• Craving a bigger challenge
• Navigating a transition or new season in your life
• Feeling called to have an adventure-filled summer
• Ready to grow into the next version of yourself

This experience isn’t just about backpacking.

It’s about having a summer that changes you.

Not just another summer. A turning-point summer.

This community is filled with women who are here to grow, support each other, and do something epic. Many come in feeling a little nervous, but leave with lifelong trail friendships.

You don’t have to be loud, outgoing, or “have it all figured out.”

You don’t have to be the fastest hiker or the most experienced backpacker either.

Please don’t count yourself out just because you’re afraid of being the slowest one or holding everyone back.

That fear is so common — and it doesn’t disqualify you from this experience. In fact, this is exactly the kind of supportive environment where that fear gets to soften.

We’re not here to hustle, compete, or leave anyone behind. We move as a team, we take breaks, and we celebrate every step... not just the summits.

You just have to be open to showing up as yourself. That’s more than enough, and you’ll be welcomed with open arms.

This experience is currently limited to just women or other underrepresented genders. It will also be led by a team of women guides.
