Welcome to Take a Hike Blaze the Trails, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting mental health services and substance abuse recovery through charitable giving, donating time to the cause, and promoting a love for hiking and trail life. Our organization was started in memory of Douglas (Blaze) Oatley II, who was an avid hiker and nature enthusiast.

We believe that nature has the power to heal and rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul. Our mission is to provide opportunities for individuals struggling with mental health issues and substance abuse to experience the healing power of nature through hiking and outdoor activities. We also work to raise awareness and funds for mental health and substance abuse recovery services.

We achieve our mission through a variety of initiatives, including:

1. Charitable Giving: We partner with various organizations that support mental health and substance abuse recovery services to provide financial assistance and resources.

2. Donating Time: We organize volunteer opportunities for our members and supporters to give back to their communities and help those in need.

3. Hiking and Trail Life: We encourage a love for hiking and trail life by organizing group hikes and outdoor activities. These events provide opportunities for individuals to connect with nature, build community, and support mental health and substance abuse recovery.

We are grateful for the support of our members and donors, who help us make a difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. Join us in our mission and promote the healing power of nature.
