Our Origin Story
The typical hike: trailhead at dawn, navigate, climb, enjoy the view, head back, grab fast food. Repeat.
Standing in the Ancient Forest during a Northern BC roadtrip, gazing at the Golden Moss Tree's story, the question emerged:
What if hiking became a full sensory experience, connecting you deeply with the land?What if you learned that tree's cones only open with fire to regenerate the forest?
What if you could identify distant peaks and earn rewards for it? What if local businesses welcomed you afterward with special offers?
TrailQwest was born to transform hiking from a simple trek to a journey of discovery and excitement.
