    Hello, my name is Pamela 

I believe in you and I know you can achieve your backpacking dreams!

I know as a woman you're used to hearing so many things about being a female backpacker that are not necessarily positive. Safety concerns, health and hygiene, and even "Why would you want to backpack". I've heard them too, even from friends and family who are well meaning. But let me tell you, If I can do this so can you! 

with over 25 years of backcountry experience, 10+ years of teaching and guiding, you are in the right place.  My passion has been to help women learn the right way to go backpacking so you can feel safe, and confident. Knowing how to problem solve and knowing what to do in every situation empowers you, both on and off the trail.

My commitment is to you! To support you and encourage you to push past those fear and limiting beliefs (others have placed onto you). I would love to be your guide and mentor in your backpacking journey as you discover the truest version of yourself.
