When it comes to the path ahead, these heroes lead the way in exchange for something that betters themselves and more importantly, their community. Whether their trail involves mountain peaks or advocacy for the things most meaningful to them, the trails are made better thanks to these hard-charging heroes.

We heard stories from people all across the US and Canada and selected six people that truly exemplify what it means to be an Oboz Local Hero. We'll be featuring all six members of the group throughout 2024, so check back regularly for their stories.
