hi there, welcome to

rooted hiking & retreats

Alisha, owner of Rooted Hiking & Retreats, sitting on a trail with a serene smile.

I’m Alisha, a New Mexico native who found my way to Carlsbad, and more importantly, to the healing power of the great outdoors.

Five years ago, I laced up my hiking boots as a way to reconnect with myself and the world around me. What began as a personal journey has blossomed into a passion for guiding women like you on a path toward peace, fulfillment, and adventure.
