Our Story

Welcome to Trail Lust Wander, where the spirit of adventure and the love for the outdoors come together to create a community of passionate hikers, explorers, and nature enthusiasts.

Our story is one of discovery, inspiration, and a deep-seated commitment to sharing the beauty of the natural world with others.

From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted resource for outdoor adventurers, Trail Lust Wander was born out of a desire to inspire, inform, and empower people to explore the great outdoors with confidence and enthusiasm. Here’s how our journey began and continues to unfold.

The Spark of Inspiration

The seeds of Trail Lust Wander were sown in the rugged landscapes of Northern California, where our founder, Williamer Bernsluck, grew up exploring the wilderness.

As a child, Williamer’s weekends were filled with hikes in the Sierra Nevada mountains, camping trips under the stars, and countless hours spent immersed in nature.

These early experiences instilled in him a profound appreciation for the outdoors and a lifelong passion for adventure.

As Williamer ventured into adulthood, his love for the trails only grew stronger. He began seeking out more challenging hikes, both within the United States and abroad, from the vast stretches of the Pacific Crest Trail to the remote and towering peaks of the Himalayas.

With every step he took, he found not just a path through the wilderness, but a deeper connection to the world around him. The trails became his sanctuary, a place where he could find clarity, peace, and inspiration.

The Birth of Trail Lust Wander

Williamer’s extensive experience on the trails, combined with his professional background in the outdoor retail industry, led to a realization: there was a need for a comprehensive resource that could guide and inspire others to embrace the outdoors.

He envisioned a platform that would provide reliable trail guides, honest gear reviews, practical survival tips, and a wealth of information for adventurers of all levels.

More than that, he wanted to create a community where people could share their own stories, experiences, and love for the outdoors.

In 2012, Trail Lust Wander was born. What started as a small blog quickly grew into a thriving platform, attracting like-minded individuals who shared Williamer’s passion for nature and adventure.

The name “Trail Lust Wander” reflects the deep desire to explore new trails, discover hidden gems, and wander through the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. It’s a name that encapsulates the essence of what we stand for: a boundless curiosity and a relentless drive to explore.
