For years, camping has been one of our favorite ways to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create meaningful memories as a family. Watching our kids experience the outdoors with so much joy reminded us how powerful these experiences can be.

But through building outdoor communities, I also realized how many people want to try camping yet hesitate for so many reasons — not knowing where to start, safety concerns, or simply not having the right company.

That’s what inspired our very first MyTrailPals Community Camping Experience ✨

A beginner-friendly experience designed to help people feel comfortable outdoors while building real connections with other outdoorsy women.

Think guided hikes, shared meals, campfire conversations, starry nights, and beautiful moments in nature together 🌲🏕️✨

If camping has been on your bucket list for a while… maybe this is your sign 💛

A quick re-introduction — now that many of you are new 💚 thank you for following along.

Hi, I’m Gunjan — founder of MyTrailPals, mom, community builder, and honestly just someone building one trail at a time.

My journey outdoors began over 20 years ago when I first moved to California. The breathtaking mountains, trees, and open skies felt like home. But as life got busier with raising kids and working full-time, I slowly drifted away. Somewhere along the way, I realized I wasn’t carving out time for myself — for self-care, wellness, or simply breathing in nature.

It wasn’t until I started feeling the impact on my health that I found my way back to the trails with a friend. Being outdoors changed everything — for my body, mind, and spirit. And what made it even more meaningful were the people I met along the way: women who lifted each other up, hiked side by side, and created space where no one felt left behind.

✨ That’s where the vision for MyTrailPals was born — a space to make it easier and safer for anyone to connect, find pals, and step into the outdoors together. Because trails aren’t just about miles — they’re about friendships, wellness, and shared experiences.

🌎 And here’s the truth: the outdoors is for everyone. Your definition of outdoors is your own — whether it’s a walk around your neighborhood, a hike in the hills, a morning run, or climbing mountains. Every step outside is a step toward wellness.

I’d love to connect with you all 💚
Let’s be out there together!

🌿 Bay Area trails have a way of bringing people together.

This weekend, host ✨ Gunjan Utreja led the beautiful Rhus Ridge & Creek Trail Loop — a trail she’s been guiding hikers through for years across the Bay Area.

“For me, the best part of being on these trails is not just connecting with nature, but connecting with fellow hikers and sharing experiences together.” 💚

From peaceful creek crossings to the wild beauty of the landscape, every step reminded us why we keep coming back outdoors. And nature surprised us with a special wildlife moment — spotting a juvenile Western Skink 🦎✨

Moments like these are what make trail experiences unforgettable:
🥾 Meaningful conversations
🌲 Shared adventure
🫶 Community connection
🐾 Unexpected wildlife encounters

Outdoor experiences are always better with trail pals.

Our shared love for the outdoors connected us long before we ever met in person 🌿

A few years ago, Nalanda and I connected virtually on LinkedIn while she was based in India 🇮🇳 Through our conversations, it was clear we shared a deep appreciation for nature, wellness, and the kind of connection the outdoors creates.

This weekend, during her short visit to the US 🇺🇸, we finally got to explore Montebello Preserve together through a MyTrailPals experience.

Moments like these remind me why I started MyTrailPals.

We live in a world where technology helps us connect across cities, countries, and continents — but the outdoors has a beautiful way of transforming virtual connections into real human experiences.

A trail turns conversations into friendships, fresh air into memories, and shared experiences into belonging.

is built on the belief that outdoor experiences can bring people together in meaningful ways — not just locally, but globally. Different backgrounds, different journeys, yet connected through nature.

From India to California, from virtual connection to hiking side-by-side on a trail… this one felt truly special 💚

What happens when you bring nature 🌿 + art 🎨 together?
Something truly powerful.

Neuroscience shows that time in nature helps reduce cortisol (stress), while creative expression like painting activates the brain’s reward pathways and improves emotional well-being. When you combine the two, it amplifies mindfulness, boosts mood, and helps you feel more present, connected, and alive ✨

I have experienced this firsthand at workshop—where every brushstroke felt simple, joyful, and freeing. By the end, everyone felt like an artist 😊

Now imagine doing this outdoors… surrounded by nature.

This Mother’s Day, step into an experience that’s more than just an activity—it’s a moment of connection, creativity, and calm 💛

It was never just about the mile or the climb.

It’s about what happens in between—
where strangers show up… and leave as friends.

Where locals share more than just a route—
they share stories, hidden gems, little lessons you won’t find on a map.

Where conversations flow,
learning happens naturally,
and somehow, you grow—together.

These are the experiences shaped by people,
hosted by locals who open up their world to you.

Because the best trails don’t just take you somewhere…
they bring you closer—to each other. 🌿

𝗛-𝗔𝗜 — 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲

We often hear: it takes a village to raise a child.

But realizing—
𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

We’re living in the AI era.
Technology can assist, monitor, remind, optimize.

But it cannot replace what I’m witnessing right now.

No system can replicate the selflessness of a family member
who shows up—not because they have to, but because they care.

I was able to be with parents
only because my spouse could step in fully back home—
caring for our children, holding things together.

That’s infrastructure.

And then there are the quieter moments…

Friends and neighbors dropping off food. Texting & Checking in.
Easing the burden—without being asked.

These aren’t transactions.
They’re relationships.

Many of these friendships were built on trails,
on simple evening walks,
on showing up consistently for each other.

That’s not coincidence.

That’s human infrastructure.

In a world increasingly shaped by AI,
maybe the real question isn’t what technology can do for us.

It’s whether we are investing enough
in the relationships that sustain us.

Because when life happens—
it’s not systems that show up.

It’s people.

And that belief is at the heart of what we’re building with —
using technology not to replace connection,
but to make it easier to find, build, and sustain it.

Because the future won’t just run on intelligence.

It will depend on the strength of our human networks.

Grateful 🙏🏻
