Who we are

Hi, I’m Alysha - founder of Stay Wild Pack Hikes - and this is my trail partner, Mahina, a spirited Goldendoodle with a heart full of adventure and a nose for the wild. Together, we created Stay Wild Pack Hikes as a way to share our love for nature, movement, and meaningful dog-human connection. Mahina’s joyful energy and natural pack instincts help set the tone for every hike: playful, respectful, and full of curiosity. Whether we’re winding through shady canyon trails or splashing through creeks, we’re all about giving dogs a chance to be dogs - wild, free, and part of a pack.

With a background in outdoor education and nearly a decade of experience leading group hikes, wilderness trips, and marine biology programs in places like Catalina Island and Fiji, I’ve always felt most at home in nature - and I believe dogs do too. My work has always centered around creating safe, enriching experiences for both humans and animals, and Stay Wild Pack Hikes is an extension of that mission.
