‘Baby bear’ Hanna McBride opens new tour business

Local roots, a life on the road, and a new path home.

Hanna McBride has spent the better part of a decade guiding people through some of the country’s most scenic landscapes. Now she’s bringing that experience home.

“In March of 2026, after a challenging winter season, I decided to stop building someone else’s dream and finally pursue my own. Baby Bear Outdoor had been an idea in the back of my mind since 2019,” McBride said. “With northern Michigan as my backyard, it was time to stop running away and start building something of my own.”
