Our Story
Wisconsin Adventure Family started as one family on the trails. Bryce, Dini, and their daughter Armani — hiking since she was three months old. Over time, we opened the door. Today it’s a growing community of women who hike local and travel global, led by Dini Dowd.
Why This Is Different
This isn’t a tour company. WAF is led by Dini Dowd — a woman who has hiked across four continents, summited Kilimanjaro three times, and been on Wisconsin trails every week for years. She knows what it actually takes to show up on a trail or land in a foreign country as a woman of color, as a mom, as someone who didn’t grow up seeing herself in outdoor spaces.
Here, adventure is intentional. The community is real. And the door is open — especially if this world hasn’t always felt like it was made for you.
This Is For You
You’re a woman who’s been saying “someday” about that trip. Or you hike every weekend and want to be around others who get it. Or you want to travel somewhere beautiful without doing it alone.
Wisconsin Adventure Family is for women who are ready to show up — on the trail, in the world, and for themselves.
