Our Story

Run by brother and sister duo, Ross and Natalie, the hostel was born out of a deep love for the trail community. They founded the hostel in 2019 while Ranger Ross was working as a Park Ranger at the nearby El Malpais National Monument. Recognizing that Grants is a major resupply hub and intersection for the country's greatest trails, they set out with one clear mission: to create the most welcoming and reasonably priced hostel on all of the Triple Crown trails.
