ABOUT THE TRAIL DAMES
The Trail Dames mission is to welcome, empower and educate women of all shapes, sizes, and experience and fitness levels to responsibly explore nature. TD accomplishes this by offering safe and supportive activities that promote personal growth, friendship, self-confidence, self-reliance, and a love of the outdoors.
Anna Huthmaker, Founder and Grand Poobah
(her friends call her "Mud Butt")
Trail Dames around the world are thankful that Anna decided to share her love of hiking!
In Anna's words:
"I started hiking in North Carolina many years ago and quickly fell in love with the trail and all of its adventures. Years of short hikes in the mountains of the Southeast and the deserts of the Southwest prepared me for my biggest challenge.
In 2003, I attempted to hike the Appalachian Trail. I took six months off from work, hiked 700 miles, broke my foot, and met more amazing people then I ever dreamed.
But there was one thing that bothered me: I was the only overweight woman out there! Where were all my friends and sisters?! I asked around and discovered that lots of women weren't keen on hiking by themselves. And when given the opportunity to hike with a group, even more of them were worried about being slow!
Well, I couldn't keep all the fun to myself! I decided that I had to share."
