One Trail At A Time...

Why Wandering Path?

Whatever the motivation; fitness, escape, personal growth. Outdoor recreation is at it's heart passionate engagement with the natural landscapes that surround us.

Creating trails and facilities that meet the diverse needs of those utilizing them requires finding the confluence of science and art; It's about being willing to color outside the lines when necessary while always remaining cognoscente of where those lines were in the first place.

A wandering path is often times the most enjoyable way to arrive at a destination.
