Guided
day hikes
with soulful itineraries,
nurturing wonder, curiosity and enchantment
in Homer, Alaska
Take yourself on a mini retreat
with a guided hike that is designed for intentional moments of
introspection and reflection
Cosmic Hamlet Hikes is a female owned and operated guided hiking service, specializing in small groups and excursions of one day or less.
Combining the skill and knowledge of a wilderness guide with the sensitivity and wonder of a poet’s soul, I warmly invite you to join me for a day of walking, pausing, wondering and imagining. Whether you have lived here all your life, or you are visiting for a few days, there is a hike for you. You can choose to stay in Homer, or, for a longer day and more remote option, we can head across the bay to Kachemak Bay State Park and walk to a glacier.
