Always Outdoors Goes Public, Launching a New Social Platform Built to Connect Outdoor Enthusiasts

Now available to download, with Crews and an Event Marketplace to help people get outside together, more often.

Salt Lake City, Utah | February 18, 2026 Always Outdoors announced today that its app is now publicly available, marking a major milestone for the Utah based startup focused on connecting outdoor enthusiasts through real world community. Built for people who want to plan, join, and share outdoor experiences with others, Always Outdoors makes it easier to turn “we should get outside” into an actual plan.

Always Outdoors is not a trail finding app. It is a people first platform designed to help individuals, groups, clubs, and organizations coordinate outings and build community around the outdoors.

“Outdoor participation is high, but it is still surprisingly hard to find your people and actually make plans,” said Jake Esayian, Founder of Always Outdoors. “We built Always Outdoors to make the outdoors more accessible by connecting outdoor enthusiasts. This public launch is the biggest step yet toward creating a safer, more social way to get outside.”

What users can do with Always Outdoors

The public release includes core features that support both everyday users and larger outdoor communities:

Individual accounts to connect with other outdoor enthusiasts and stay plugged into what is happening nearby
Crew accounts for friend groups, clubs, and teams to coordinate trips, share updates, and keep plans organized
Company accounts for businesses and organizations to create a presence and host outdoor oriented events
Event Marketplace to discover and post outdoor events, meetups, and group outings
Feed experience for sharing outdoor moments and staying connected to the community

Always Outdoors is launching with a local first focus, building strong density in the Mountain West before expanding into additional regions.

Availability

Always Outdoors is now available publicly. Users can download the app and create an account today.
