The Trailhead: Every Story Has a Beginning

Curious where the term ‘Neon Wanderers’ originated? Grab a drink, pull up a seat and tune in.

Have you ever met someone and within a few minutes know that you’re going to be great friends, share many laughs and have endless adventures? That’s exactly what happened when I met my friend Laura while we were playing on our local competitive ultimate frisbee team. We both shared a positive outlook on life, the same taste in music, a passion for backcountry adventures, and a love of neon colours!

It wasn’t long after we met that we started planning adventures. We knew we were capable of ones of epic proportions, so we started to apply for expedition grants and sponsorship opportunities. It was then that we adopted the term #neonwanderers as our collective identity and our platform for sharing adventures. Over the past five years we’ve explored lakes in Ontario, bagged peaks in Washington, craters in Maui, beaches in Florida, vistas in Arizona, and wandered the canyons of Utah. Through all our adventures, we stayed true to the neon wanderers lifestyle.

When it came to picking a brand name, it seemed like a no brainer – we wanted to create an inclusive brand that represents what we stand for, and this is it! Welcome to the Club!
