YOUR HUMANS

CRISTAL + AMY

Hi, we're Cristal and Amy — co-founders, and Camp Mom and Dad of Traverse Trail Camps.

Cristal grew up in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, where the outdoors was just part of life. Running didn't click until her mid-twenties in Alaska, when a 23-mile day on the Crow Pass trail changed everything. It's been a slippery slope ever since — longer races, bigger terrain, and a first 100-miler at the Crazy Mountain 100 in 2022. She's back in the San Juans now, exploring her backyard and the wider Southwest by every human-powered means possible.

Amy grew up in California, picked up running at 15 to get in shape for basketball, and promptly quit basketball. A self-proclaimed 5k lover, she surprised herself during the pandemic exploring Bay Area trails, which led to the Bryce Canyon 50k in 2021 and the Black Canyon 60k in 2023. For the past decade she's been personal training and co-running Lift and Sprint, an outdoor kettlebell business, alongside her husband. She has an adventurous eleven-year-old and an unshakeable belief that women are capable of far more than they think.

We started Traverse because we wanted to create the camp we always wished existed — one that challenges you, holds you, and sends you home stronger than you arrived. We can't wait to meet you on the trail.
