Empowering outdoor adventures for all

Welcome to Upward Transitions, a female owned company that strives to offer meaningful experiences to individuals in the outdoors. We are focused on empowering folks from any background, race, gender identity, and socioeconomic status to accomplish their goals by learning the tools and skills to recreate and achieve personal growth and leadership in the backcountry, while respecting, appreciating, and learning from the land in which we travel.

We are committed to high quality holistic guiding, education, and experiences that yield a greater understanding of ourselves, others, and the natural world.
