Hello from the Founder
My name is Bobbie Kite and I have been a practicing pilgrim for 25+ years having completed over 290 pilgrimages over the years. These include secular pilgrimage to all 63 major National Parks in the United States as well as multiple pilgrimages to the Camino, and other more traditional sites such as Lourdes and Fatima. In addition to practical experience, I bring academic experience with a PhD in Public Health and Masters in Health Sciences and Theological Studies.
Unpacking Our Purpose
Beyond the crowds and quick photo stops lies a deeper invitation. We reimagine visits to our National Park Service sites—from towering wilderness landscapes to intimate historic homes, from Civil Rights landmarks to Native American heritage sites—as opportunities for profound personal transformation.
​
We guide individuals and groups through intentional journeys that weave together ritual, reflection, and reverence for the places that hold America's most significant stories. Through outdoor chaplaincy and carefully crafted experiences, we help people move beyond being mere tourists to becoming pilgrims—seekers who return home changed by their encounters with these protected places. We are spiritually inclusive but not faith-based.
​
Whether you're drawn to the vast wilderness of Yellowstone, the solemn grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the inspiring halls of Independence Hall, or the powerful history preserved at Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, we create space for the kind of travel that doesn't just check boxes on a bucket list, but transforms your understanding of place, history, and self.
​
This is travel as secular pilgrimage—purposeful, meaningful, and deeply personal. Here, every site becomes an encounter outside the ordinary with the natural wonders, cultural heritage, and civic ideals that shape our shared American story.
