Miles Hike Club

What Miles Hike Club does

Miles Hike Club is a privately held guided outdoor adventure company founded in 2019 and based in Seattle, Washington. It designs and leads hiking experiences in the Pacific Northwest for individual hikers (ranging from beginners to experienced adventurers) and for corporate groups seeking team-building outings. The company operates with a lean five-person guide team led by founder James (aka Booby), with co-guides Ish, Sumaiya, Chang, and George collectively contributing over 20 years of Pacific Northwest hiking experience and Wilderness First Aid certification.

The company's core offering consists of customized hikes, discounted multi-hike packages (2, 3, or 5 hikes), and corporate bonding experiences. Distribution runs through an owned website (mileshikeclub.com) and listings on three third-party marketplaces—Airbnb Experiences, TripAdvisor, and Viator—alongside organic social presence on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. There is no proprietary technology platform; the service is delivered entirely through in-person guides, with booking and merchandising handled via a Wix-based website. A secondary merchandise line sells branded apparel (tees, hoodies, joggers, hats, beanies) directly through the website, including a co-branded MHC x Champion pull-over jacket.

The business model combines professional-services revenue (guided hikes, corporate team-building) with hardware/merchandise sales priced $25-$55 per item. Hike pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; corporate bookings operate on multi-year contract cadence. The company has not raised external capital, has no disclosed parent, and remains founder-owned and operated with no signs of institutional investment or M&A activity. Customer feedback centers on 'hundreds of five-star reviews,' and the company is certified in Wilderness First Aid across its guide team.

Direct peers

• Evergreen Escapes: Evergreen Escapes is a Seattle-based tour operator offering guided day tours and small-group outdoor experiences across the Pacific Northwest, including hiking. It directly overlaps with Miles Hike Club on geography (PNW), customer base (Seattle travelers), and product (guided outdoor adventures).
• Wildland Trekking: Wildland Trekking is a guided hiking tour operator offering multi-day and day hikes in U.S. national parks and destinations. It is directly comparable to Miles Hike Club in product (guided hiking experiences), target customer (outdoor recreation travelers), and business model (per-trip professional guiding services).

Others

• Sierra Club Outings: Sierra Club Outings is a nonprofit-led program organizing group hiking and backcountry trips, primarily for members. While not a commercial competitor, it draws on the same pool of guided-hiking customers and represents the alternative non-commercial channel for outdoor guided experiences.
• Viator: Viator is a global online marketplace for tours and experiences where Miles Hike Club is listed as a hiking experience in Washington. It is comparable as a channel partner and ecosystem platform through which MHC reaches travelers, but does not directly compete as a hiking operator.

Broad incumbents

• Backroads: Backroads is a premium active-travel company offering guided hiking, biking, and multi-activity trips globally. It serves the same experiential outdoor-travel customer and overlaps on guided hiking product, but at a much larger scale and premium price point with a broader destination portfolio.
• Adventures by Disney: Adventures by Disney is a guided small-group travel brand offering family-oriented hiking and active itineraries worldwide. It is a broader incumbent operating in guided active travel but at higher price points, family-focused positioning, and significantly larger scale than MHC.
• REI Adventures: REI Adventures is the guided travel arm of REI Co-op, offering hiking, biking, and multi-sport trips worldwide. It is a broader incumbent with overlapping guided-hiking product and outdoor customer base, but operates at much greater scale and across many destinations beyond the Pacific Northwest.
• Mountain Travel Sobek: Mountain Travel Sobek is an established adventure travel operator offering guided hiking and trekking trips worldwide. It overlaps with Miles Hike Club on guided hiking product and active-travel customer base but operates as a broad incumbent with global itineraries and decades of brand history.
