My Story
Hi, I’m Kristin! Based in Colorado and the founder of Raising Hikers, I lean on my “Type A” planning style to craft unforgettable, outdoor-focused journeys. My love for exploration began while studying abroad in Europe and has since taken me to over 30 countries. Today, I combine that global background with local expertise to help families trade the stress of logistics for more time spent outside.
Travel Style
I specialize in “Grit & Reward” travel—balancing the raw beauty of the outdoors with the comforts of a luxury stay. From National Park expeditions and multi-day European treks to five-star beachfront resorts, I help families navigate everything from backcountry trails to high-end all-inclusives. Whether you’re seeking a rugged mountain retreat or a tropical escape, I create seamless, adventure-forward itineraries so you can simply focus on the experience.

Kristin was such a joy to have on our side! She gave us a personalized itinerary that included our flight and hotel. It had links to the specific vendors and information all in one place. I highly recommend working with her.

Kristin was able to save me hundreds of dollars on my weekend stay in Eugene! I tried to book myself and was saddened by the price.

Kristin is the best! She is so organized and detail oriented. She thought of things that weren’t even on our radar! Her communication skills were beyond good. She responded quickly to any questions we had and sent links to events and sites which really helped in our planning. She is a delightful woman who takes our requests to heart. Can’t imagine using anyone else!
