From website- Tired feet, a full tummy, a smoky campfire, the gentle rush of a nearby creek, and a glimpse of that last ray of golden sun between the snow-capped mountain peaks. Backpacking across breathtaking landscapes, traversing forests and valleys, crossing rivers, climbing high passes, descending into deep canyons, you discover things about yourself that cannot be understood any other way.

Whether you know this happiness from past adventures or you have been waiting to discover how it feels for the first time - you’ve come to the right place!

We at RightOnTrek.com want to make epic outdoor adventures accessible to new hikers and lifelong mountaineers alike. Amazing backcountry experiences need a great itinerary that is matched to your pace; high tech tents and fitted backpacks that are light and durable; delicious and nutritious trail meals free from preservatives; and the right navigational tools, including maps and a satellite communication device. We want you to feel confident finding your way around the wilderness, and return safely with memories that will last a lifetime.

Bryan Schaeffer has been busy bringing outdoor scenes to life with his new venture; Drawn to Animate. His slogan is - Rendering memories with real people and places in our collective big backyard.

Tyler Heath hiked the Appalachian Trail, finding his self talk turned into the ideas for a book. His book isn’t about his journey as much as it is about mindfulness and freedom.

His journals turned into chapters of life lessons. Known as “Red Rocket” on the trail, Tyler found a not so fast paced life on trail.
