About Me

Hello there! I’m Megan, and I’m thrilled to share my passion for hiking with you. A few years ago, amidst the chaos of a demanding job and the challenges of parenting a teenager, I found myself overwhelmed with stress. Seeking solace, I spontaneously embarked on a life-changing hike.  Each step lightened the weight of my worries, and I found peace in nature.

That hike was transformative. From that day forward, I prioritized hiking, and I began to feel physically and mentally rejuvenated. In fact, I enjoyed the benefits of hiking and spending time outdoors so much that I took a hiatus from my job to become a full-time hiking guide for a year. 

As a guide, I lead adventurers through the breathtaking landscapes of the Southwest. From iconic spots like the Wave and the Grand Canyon to hidden gems like Buckskin Gulch and Edmaier’s Secret, I’ve shared countless unforgettable moments with people from around the globe.  I started Shelikestohike.com to share trails with others and inspire people to get outside and spend more time in nature.   

“The best views come after the hardest climb.”
