RightOnTrek wants 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 with minimal preservatives; and the right navigational tools, including maps and a satellite communication device. RightOnTrek wants you to feel confident finding your way around the wilderness, and return safely with memories that will last a lifetime.
RightOnTrek was founded by a group of friends and backpacking buddies from Silicon Valley. In 2017, they completed the 211-mile John Muir Trail in the High Sierra. During that epic adventure, they developed a shared dream: to open up similar adventures to millions of people who don’t have the knowledge, experience, or equipment for a multi-day backpacking vacation.
Within the group, everyone had all the capital and skills to turn that dream into reality. Six months later, in October 2018, the first version of RightOnTrek.com went live. Since then, thousands of people have discovered their site and used the tools to plan their backpacking trips.
