About Sophia

Igniting the fire of adventure in others to find out how far we all can really go...

Sophia McKee dove into the world of adventure in 2011 with the Mongol Derby, the longest and toughest horse race in the world. The 1,000 km horse race across Mongolia awoke the adventure spirit in Sophia and set her on her path to seek out adventure.

In 2012, she journeyed to South Africa and competed in Fauresmith, their National Endurance Championships. 2013 saw a return to South Africa and a journey into Lesotho for the Lesotho Rescue Ride to benefit starving and stolen horses and livestock.

Her annual quest for adventure has taken her on an epic cattle drive across the Canadian Rockies, swimming horses across raging rivers in Africa, and to the ends of the earth in Patagonia.

Many friends said they were living vicariously through her adventures...and now she wants to take you with her so you can live your own!

Sophia has selected the best hikes near Seattle for your day of adventure! As a guided hiking tour, we cover all your needs from transport, to gear, to snacks and lunch to keep you energized on the trail.

Josh Marks is an experienced guide and entrepreneur. Sophia and Josh met through a chance meeting with a friend of Josh’s on a flight from San Diego. Sophia was lamenting about needing an experienced guide and her seat mate said, “Wait! I know a guide, my buddy Josh.” And from there a long distance friendship was born.

Josh has guided extensively in National Parks across the Western US; Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Yosemite, Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches and Canyonlands.

2024 marks the first year that Josh was able to step away from his guiding in Sedona and the Grand Canyon to bring his expertise Adventures In Seattle. No stranger to the PNW, Josh has tread on many a trail in the Cascades and in his home mountains in Idaho.

Our unique Seattle City Hike itinerary was carefully crafted by Josh with an eye to showing visitors the best views in the city.
