If you haven’t hiked Brandy Creek Falls yet, this is the perfect time of year to get trekking! Our kiddos had a great time on the trail checking out the waterfalls and enjoying some lunch beside the creek. Perfect for families with kids, individuals, and groups alike with gorgeous views along the way. Get outside!
Wild On Purpose Redding
Wild On Purpose is a free hiking/backpacking community based out of Redding, CA. Get in touch if you’d like to learn more!
We run a monthly Explore program for youth to devlop practical life skills, self esteem and positive peer relationships.
Thanks to all who came out to learn more about our community programs at the Redding Trail Alliance Mixer!

See you all at the next one!
Who else has visited the stunning Mossbrae Falls? Spring is here and we’re excited to start planning more hikes and backpacking trips for the upcoming months. Get in touch if you’re looking for some buddies to start adventuring with.
Positive childhood experiences play a powerful role in supporting healthy social and emotional development. Research shows that when children miss out on joyful or meaningful experiences, it can have lasting effects—similar to the impact of experiencing hardship or trauma. In our county, we often meet young people who face both challenges. That’s why we created the Youth Explore Program! By offering free outings and activities for youth of all backgrounds, we’re helping make those happy, enriching moments a regular part of their lives. If you’d like to support our work or sponsor a child to go on these monthly excursions, please reach out at [email protected]
This week we took our new volunteers on a little training hike ready for the next Youth Explore Day! (…had to see if they would be able to keep up with those wily kiddos 😜 😂) Of course they passed with flying colors! 😎 These guys are a huge blessing to our team and have so many great skills to share. It’s gonna be a great season of adventures ahead.

We’re so pumped for tomorrow’s youth adventure trip to Whiskeytown Falls! Most of the kids have never been before, so we’re excited to show them the beauty that exists right here in their hometown. Parents be sure to get your kids’ sandwich orders in before tomorrow! It’s gonna be a great day!

Introducing Explore: Monthly Outdoor Adventures for Youth!
We’re excited to officially launch Explore under Wild On Purpose! This free monthly program is designed for youth ages 10–15 to connect with nature, build confidence and community, and experience the outdoors in a safe, supportive space.
We’ve been running Explore for the past two years—and now we’re continuing with the same heart and purpose, offering once-a-month outings to make outdoor access more equitable, especially for youth from underserved communities.
Whether it’s hiking, kayaking, or learning survival skills, every Explore day is packed with adventure, friendship, and growth.
Spots are limited each month. Stay tuned for upcoming dates and how to sign up!

Yesterday we had the privilege of picking up a backpacker from the Redding airport and driving him to the Pacific Crest Trail in Castella, where he began his journey south. This guy lost a toe previously on his PCT adventures due to blisters, so we have nothing but respect for his tenacity.
Safe travels, friend!
