Voyage LA Magazine - "Exploring Life & Business with Andrew Bearer of West Friends Hiking"

We're excited to be featured in Voyage LA Magazine's "Hidden Gems" section of LA local creatives and artists. We invite you to take a glimpse into the personal origin story of West Friends Hiking through the eyes of our program creator and Naturalist Guide Andy Bearer and get a feel for the heart and soul behind our mission to help inspire meaningful relationships with the natural world and a deeper sense of emotional connection and understanding of our life-sustaining ecosystems.

"My hope on every hike with people is to jump these hurdles by giving people the chance to make a personal connection with the experience of nature and open the door for them to take their own journey to explore our world of natural creations and what it means to them. Once that happens, no physical barrier can stand between us and our drive to connect with our world of life."-Andy Bearer
