Hi! I’m Jon.

I started RidgeKin because I believe life's best adventures are the ones we share with others.

Backpacking has given me incredible memories, meaningful friendships, and a love for exploring the unknown. I wanted to create something that gives other people the opportunity to experience that same feeling.

That's what RidgeKin is all about. We bring people together, take care of the planning and logistics, and teach you the skills to confidently explore the wilderness.

You don't need experience, expensive gear, or even someone to come with. Just a little curiosity and a willingness to adventure.
