The Story and Our Mission?

"Hike Outside - Heal Inside"

In 2023 David Croskey was diagnosed with liver cancer and ultimately received a liver transplant in 2025.  His journey led him to a place of deep preparation physically, mentally and spiritually.  Hiking and the healing power of the natural world prepared him to face the challenges his situation presented.  Now it is his mission to give back this healing energy to others in a similar place.


Founded by the Croskey Family in beautiful and wild Arizona, our mission is to provide free hiking and nature guiding services in AZ (for now) to organ transplant patients, recipients and caregivers. We believe in the healing power of nature and inter-connectedness.  We strive to connect individuals with the outdoors, fostering physical, spiritual and emotional healing.

The Journey

Road Trips

Nature Walks

We packed the truck, fueled up, and crafted the perfect playlist.  The windows are down, the views are magical and the air is fresh.  It's a journey designed to immerse you in breathtaking natural beauty and captivating surroundings.

Nature Walks

This isn't just a walk; it's a sensory exploration!  Let the dappled sunlight filter through the trees, warming your skin and energizing your soul.  Every step is a victory on your way to healing physically and spiritually.

Day Hikes

Backpacking

 Imagine swapping the couch for a day of exploration on the trail. Picture this: sunshine filtering through the cactus and trees, the refreshing smell of the forest, and the satisfying sound of footsteps on the trail. It is a journey where the only constraints are those we choose together.

Let's trade the hum of everyday life for the symphony of nature.  Each purposeful step is a mindful meditation, with breathtaking vistas unfolding before you like a living painting. You'll conquer challenges and soak in the rewarding views, knowing every ounce of effort led you to that exhilarating moment of freedom and healing.
