How it all started...

Founded with a purpose born from personal triumphs over trauma, my journey through the loss of a child and surviving an abusive relationship fueled a passion for mental health advocacy. Overcoming my struggles by embracing self awareness and finding solace in nature and animals.  I embarked on a mission to create HIKE in 2018.  2024 the idea of HIKE bloomed into an official non-profit organization which is dedicated to providing opportunities for individuals to embark on their own healing journey. Join us in Casper, WY as we foster a supportive community and empower others to discover strength, resilience and happiness through self-discovery and connection with animals and nature.” - Victoria Smith (Founder of HIKE)
