WE HIKE is More Than a Hike.
At WE HIKE, we live by a simple compass: Learn. Explore. Prepare. Return Home Safely.
We don't just hit the trail, we teach outdoor safety, build community connections, and create hands-on outdoor experiences for everyone across El Paso. As the seasons shift, our community calendar is packed with exciting partner events, community walks, races, and safety programs all month long! (Scroll down to the bottom of this page to view our full October event lineup.)
Help Us Keep This Work Going: El Paso Giving Day
On October 15, for El Paso Giving Day, we invite you to support our 100% volunteer-run nonprofit. Your gifts directly fund first aid and CPR training, youth adventure programs, safety gear, and trail stewardship.
DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT: This year, every gift can be matched dollar-for-dollar through our $10,000 Marathon Petroleum matching opportunity! Every dollar you give goes twice as far to keep our community safe and connected.

At WE HIKE, we believe that getting outdoors and walking together is about more than exercise. It is about connection, community, and reminding one another that no one has to walk alone.
This hike is an opportunity to come together, enjoy the outdoors, connect with others, and raise awareness and donate for El Paso Giving Day

Please come prepared. There may be little to no shade on the trail, so sun and hydration protection are important.
Every person deserves the opportunity to experience the outdoors safely, confidently, and without barriers.
WE HIKE Adventure is building a stronger El Paso by equipping youth, adults, families, and volunteers with the knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills to succeed both outdoors and in everyday life. Through hands-on education, participants develop practical skills in decision-making, risk management, emergency preparedness, teamwork, communication, environmental stewardship, and leadership skills that strengthen individuals long after the program ends.
The impact reaches far beyond the trail.
A young person gains confidence to become a leader.
A family discovers healthier ways to spend time together.
A volunteer develops the skills to mentor others. Get Involved
A community becomes better prepared, more connected, and more resilient.
A community becomes stewards of the lands.
Every class, every volunteer, and every participant helps create a ripple effect that extends into schools, neighborhoods, workplaces, and public spaces throughout our region.
Your support on El Paso Giving Day helps remove financial barriers, expand free outdoor education, train volunteer leaders, provide safety equipment, and ensure more people have access to programs that build confidence, leadership, and lifelong skills.
This isn’t simply about getting people outside.
It’s about empowering people to lead, serve, protect, and inspire others.
Together, we’re building a stronger, safer, healthier community, one student, one person, one family, and one adventure at a time.
Your support helps WE HIKE keep outdoor safety education and community adventure accessible across El Paso.
Giving Day funds will support safety education, first aid and CPR training, youth and community programs, outdoor equipment and supplies, inclusive hikes and events, and stewardship of the places we explore.
