Who We Are
Trail Dames is a hiking club for women of a curvy nature. We hike slowly, looking closely at the beauty that is all around us. We rest when we need to, but then we keep going. We know that there is no feeling in the entire world like the feeling of accomplishing your goal.
A message from your Founder-
When I started Trail Dames, I wanted to create a place where all women were loved, respected and appreciated. I have never wavered from that, and have done my best to live up to that idea. But today, it is necessary to expand on that. Our Black Dames matter. Your voices, your experience and your lives matter. You matter to me, and you matter to Trail Dames.
