"Think of yourself as dead.
You have lived your life.
Now take what's left and live it properly"
-MA
This coming year will mark the 10th year since my brother has passed, the 19th since my mother, and the 30th since my father. Life is so much shorter than we know. I like this quote, because it can become to comfortable and easy to sit with grief and complacency, much harder to get up and live, actually live, for those you grieve. This one resonates with me, and pushes me to go and experience all the things my life still has to offer and to bring those who I love in my heart with me on those journeys.
Find what you love....

Hey there! I’m Candace, the co-owner, Operations Manager, and a trip leader for Nature Nomads! I’m also a proud mom, a strength and conditioning coach, a vocalist in a hardcore/metal band. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, surfing, climbing, swimming, strength training, watching movies, yoga, giving my dog, Bella, belly rubs, and I love experiencing the world from different perspectives.
One of my all-time favorite places to hike is the desert. There’s something truly special about the vastness and the stunning geological scenery that makes me feel like you're walking on another planet.
Fun facts:
My favorite trail snack is twizzlers. I compete in Triathlon races. I have two cats, Marshmallow and Snap. I am scared of swimming in deep water lol.
I have a background in business management organization, logistics, and leadership. One thing I’m especially proud of is my time volunteering with an organization that helps women find healing in nature while raising awareness and funds for domestic violence. This amazing experience is one that inspired me to start this guiding business! I’m passionate about helping all women feel independent, seen, heard, and empowered in nature. My mission is to create a fun, inclusive, and safe space for everyone to learn and enjoy!
I’ve spent the last few years diving into outdoor
education to ensure that all who join us have a meaningful, safe, and stoked experience.
"This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.
To have faith in yourself is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float."
-Alan Wilson Watts

Joshua Tree National Park! Last chance to get on the waitlist and receive the Early Bird Price!!
This trip is going to slay! The Dome alone is to die for. I can't wait to spend some time in the pool, reading in a hammock, and roasting s'mores under the stars.
And that is only part of the experience! We are going to do some awesome day hikes in Joshua tree national Park. Knowing us, we will find a hike off the beaten path, include one that everyone is psyched to check out, and beat the crowds. We are also looking into some fun extracurriculars that might on. I hear that there is horseback riding for beginners into the national park, are you kidding me. There is so much we can experience on this long weekend. Sign up now for the waitlist, and get that special discounted earlybird price.
Tip on indoor training for outdoor adventure.
Building in time on your feet during your training will transfer to time on your feet for the trail. My favorite way to do this indoor all year round is the stair stepper. A treadmill is great when that's all you have, but I believe the stair stepper is superior, because of the range of motion that is required to step up. This is not required on the treadmill. Most trails I've hiked not only need one to step up higher than expected, but also step down stepper than expected. So practicing this off trail is important. Preparing for a big hike I will generally add these in 24-12 weeks out, 45-90 min depending on the hike, honestly I've learned to love them.
What do you do to prepare?
