Welcome to Black Hikers Unite (BHU), founded by Kenneth Felton to connect Black and Brown communities with the transformative power of nature. We organize hikes, camping trips, and outdoor activities to promote physical wellness, mental health, and environmental stewardship. Join us in building a vibrant, inclusive community where everyone can explore, connect, and thrive in the great outdoors.

Our goal is to build a vibrant and supportive community where individuals can share their stories, resources, and passions. We are dedicated to creating Blue Zones—areas where communities thrive in physical, mental, and spiritual health—starting with our own.

Our Impact

Our impact is seen in the countless lives we’ve touched through our outdoor adventures.
