Kylie Yang

Hailing from Southeastern Virginia, this adventurous soul spent much of her youth exploring Shenandoah National Park, fostering a deep love for the outdoors. After completing an epic Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2015, she dove into trail stewardship as an Appalachian Trail Ridgerunner, igniting a passion for helping others experience the great outdoors. From local trails to federal pathways, Kylie's dedication to enhancing access and equity in outdoor spaces only continues to flourish. She served as a mentor for Next 100 Colorado, and is an active organizer for Outdoor Asian Colorado. When not leading expeditions, catch her hiking tirelessly with her Vizsla companion, Sullivan, or scaling the heights at a nearby rock-climbing spot.
