Born in the mountains

Our Story

We are a Veteran-founded, family business with over 75 years of  collective experience running, pacing, crewing, and volunteering on the trails.  We know how difficult navigation gets on the fourth night out, under the veils of ultra-brain and the pain cave . . . and . . . “is this the turn, or is this an old beat out?”  Our mission at Get There Find Out is to offer our mastery of GPX technology and navigation to our users so the only disorientation you experience in the backcountry is from having a few too many back at camp.
