Hey there, and welcome to Trail Mommas—I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Katie: mom, adventure-seeker, photography lover, and founder of this community that’s quickly become one of my greatest joys. Trail Mommas was born from a deep love for the outdoors and a desire to share that love with my kids—and with other families who want to raise curious, brave, and wild-hearted little explorers.

It all started on one of our many muddy hikes, with toddlers laughing, backpacks packed with way too many snacks, and hearts full of wonder. I realized I wasn’t the only mom craving deeper connection with nature, my children, and a like-minded community. I wanted a space where moms could ask questions, plan meetups, share favorite trails, learn new things, and just feel seen in this messy, magical season of life.

Trail Mommas is more than a hiking group—it’s a movement. It’s a space where moms and families are encouraged to slow down, explore more, and raise kids who aren’t afraid to get dirty, take risks, and stand in awe of the world around them.

Here on the blog (and across the site), you’ll find:

• Stories from the trail—real, honest moments of adventure and chaos
• Outdoor gear tips and family hiking guides
• Environmental education resources for curious young minds
• Updates on events, meetups, and local adventures
• And our very own Trail Mommas merch (because matching tees make everything more fun!)

Whether you’re a seasoned hiker, just getting started, or simply someone who wants to be outside more—you belong here. My hope is that Trail Mommas becomes your go-to for inspiration, information, and a healthy dose of encouragement as we navigate this wild, wonderful life with kids in tow.

Let’s hike the good hike, together.
Welcome to the trail, Momma—you’re one of us now.

Happy Trails,
Katie
