So, gear up and get ready to embark on a transformative journey that promises not only breathtaking landscapes but also profound personal growth.
Month 4: Commitment to Climb
This month is focused on commitment to ourselves and where we want to go in our lives. Once we have come to the awareness that we want more for ourselves, see the patterns and situations that keep us stuck, and accept responsibility for ourselves and our life, we can come to commitment. Commitment to change, by working on taking steps that will lead us to where we wish to go. Commitment is an important step in life because we are taking a stand for ourselves and our life and stating that we will do whatever it takes to move forward in a direction that will get us the results we want for ourselves.
"When I was at my rock bottom, it felt like a dark cloud was following me everywhere. I thought my life was over. I truly felt lower than dirt - and I knew I didn’t want to feel that way any longer. I didn't want to face the same circumstances I had over and over again. So, I had to commit to myself that I was going to do the work necessary to find my joy, healing, purpose and freedom again. I was willing to do whatever it took to get myself on the road of recovery and healing to the life of my dreams. I committed to myself and my growth through hiking and inner work."
Without commitment, we can not reach our personal summits and dreams. Before you climb any mountain or achieve your vision, you must first decide you will do it and then take the steps to achieve your goal. It is like this in our lives. We must decide we want to move in a direction that is aligned with ourselves and our higher purpose. Sometimes, on the way we will face adversity, obstacles and great grief. This is all a part of the greater plan and vision. Commitment to yourself and your dreams will help you stay true to the path, when you want to give up and the motivation wears off. So this is a crucial step to take on our journey.
Rest assured that we will work together this month on finding out what you are going to commit to and I will help you get on the path to your ultimate peak!

In 2012, Karla was at her lowest point in life. Her marriage was over, she was depressed, and had not achieved any purpose in her life.
In 2014, Karla set a goal to hike once a week for a year, she had no idea the immense impact hiking and nature would have on her. She set out for her 52 hikes and on the way found healing, redemption, confidence, forgiveness and so much more. The journey was so powerful and impactful that she decided she needed to share her story with others - and that is how the 52 Hike Challenge was born.
Since launching, the challenge has gone on to impact hundreds of thousands of lives, created more than a million moments outside, and has gone on to help people find healing, clarity and significance in their own lives.
Karla has studied emotional, spiritual, mindset modalities and how to use these tools to empower us to heal and become the highest vision for ourself. She currently studies with healer, spiritual teacher and environmental guardian La’ne Saan Moonwalker. She has over 12 years of meditation practice, has experience with the power of inner work, and has even completed the 12-Steps.
Through these mini-challenges Karla will take you through the 12 steps of healing she developed in her own 52 Hike Challenge. It is her hope you too can find freedom, joy and empowerment through the outdoors. Who knows, maybe you'll even find your purpose.

reviews
I lost my father to lung cancer in June of 2022, and became distant with my mother months later due to her mental instability. I was going down a dark slope mentally and knew I needed to do something for myself. I began therapy, but knew I needed something physical. So I thought the 52 hike challenge would be something positive to strive for. Getting out in nature was very healing, allowed me to connect with my inner self, and helped me to forgive things I didn’t even know I needed to. – Melanie Snyder
REVIEWS
The 52 hike challenge saved my life. I was mentally & physically in a bad place after being sick for over 25 yrs... Joining the challenge got me outside (in the cold Michigan weather) and motivated me to get my life back. Then, because I started hiking, my husband & I started going on camping road trips to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, etc just to go hike in the mountains. When I started the challenge in Jan of 23 I was happy to hike 1-2 miles on flat ground in MI. My favorite hike was 9 months later at Glacier National Park when I hiked 12 miles with. 2,500 ft of elevation gain. It was a dream come true. Because my husband has been my hiking partner, & we were recent empty nesters, our hiking trips allowed us to reconnect & fall in love again. I owe a lot to the 52 week challenge... – Denise Dunayczan
