The birth of Hike Like A Woman.
In 2014 I had a new baby, a toddler and was trying to figure out how to take my young children out on adventures. While bookstores are full of "how to" parenting books I couldn't find anything on how to hike, camp, ski, snowshoe, and adventure with my young children. So I started Hike Like A Woman to share what I was learning with my own children.
Eventually, I started a local hiking group, the Little Laramie Hikers because I wanted to be friends with other Moms like me - who were adventurous and saw the outdoors as a wonderful place to raise kids. I wanted to bridge the gap between online community and in-person adventure.
Hike Like A Woman hit our stride in 2016, 2017, and 2018 with ambassador blog contributors, an Army of volunteer hiking group leaders, online classes, challenges, workshops, merchandise sales, a podcast, a digital magazine and an adventure book club.
But this all became too much to manage and juggle my career as an outdoor retailer, guide and ski instructor. So after a few rocky years trying to do it all I stopped but our community continued to thrive even though I wasn't trying to do it all.
Now Hike Like A Woman has two objectives: outdoor education and adventure travel for outdoorsy women.
(p.s. I still hike with the Little Laramie Hikers - even though now the kids are faster and taller than the Moms 🙃)
Cheers to hiking adventures, big and small.
