About Us

Mindful journeys through nature’s most inspiring landscapes.
Reconnecting with self, one step at a time.

Our Story

KP Trail Tours was born from a deeply personal place—a moment of pause, a long road to recovery, and the simple desire to feel whole again. After founder Craig Newton’s knee replacement, the trail became more than just a path through nature—it became a pathway back to self. What started as healing the body turned into healing the mind and spirit too. KP Trail Tours is a reflection of that journey: a space where movement is gentle, nature is nurturing, and every step is a reminder that you’re allowed to slow down, breathe deeply, and be present. Guided by the 3 H’s—Hiking, Healing, & Holistic Health—we create experiences that invite you to reconnect, not just with the outdoors, but with your own sense of peace, strength, and joy. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a return to you.

Our Mission:

To create immersive experiences that harmoniously blend physical activity with mindfulness, empowering participants to reconnect with themselves and nature while building a community & family of like minded individuals.

Keep Calm and Hike With Us

Mindful Destinations

We carefully select breathtaking locations like Arizona, Hawaii, and France to deepen your connection with nature and self.

Hi, I’m Craig Newton, Chief Adventure Officer and Founder of KP Trail Tours. What started as a journey toward healing after my own knee replacement has grown into a wellness-inspired adventure company that helps others reconnect with nature, movement, and memories. Our goal at KP Trail Tours is to inspire people to get outside, take a breath, and move in ways that feel good. No pressure, no rush-just soul-nourishing adventures designed for all bodies and all levels. As the former Co-Founder of Run For Fun Cruise Tours and Owner of an Expedia CruiseShipCenters Franchise; I loved building groups of like minded individuals and taking them on trips around the world where we started out as friends and wound up as family. I’m passionate about creating an environment for people to connect-with nature, with each other, and more importantly; with themselves. This is more than just travel-it’s movement with meaning AND it’s Kneezy Peezy! See you on the trail!
