Our Story
New Trails was founded to bring more people into the great outdoors. Inspired by the high demand for university-sponsored trips, we saw an opportunity to expand these experiences with additional adventures led by passionate guides. These are leaders who offer unique perspectives, share valuable insights, and give back to the community that shaped them. Discover, explore, and connect right here on New Trails!

Who We Are
Lets Bivy is a student-founded outdoors organization. Our mission is to foster a diverse and inclusive outdoor community, connecting students and alumni with each other and the wilderness of Southern California, the West, and beyond. We are a passionate and ambitious group of peers bound by an unbridled spirit of adventure. We have seen firsthand how the outdoors offers a unique opportunity for students and alumni to come together, regardless of their walk of life or level of skill. Where there is an adventure to be had, Lets Bivy is there to share it with our community. Whether you’re a beginner or an old pro, we’d love to have you join us.
Looking Forward
Lets Bivy wants to bring additional universities under its fold, creating a country-wide ecosystem of outdoors advocates. We believe we can bring university networks closer than ever before by igniting your sense of adventure.
