Welcome, and thank you so much for being here.
I am beyond excited to host this event, and honestly, it comes from the heart. I am someone who has always been deeply inspired by women, and wherever I go in life, I find myself surrounded by incredible international women. Women from different countries, different cultures, and different backgrounds, and every single one of them has something beautiful to offer.
That is exactly why I felt called to create this space. Because I truly believe we are stronger together. We need to support one another, share our stories, celebrate our differences, and keep spreading the love. There is so much we can learn from each other about life, about strength, about the world, and friendships born on a trail have a way of lasting a lifetime.
Driftless Horse Trail — Governor Dodge State Park, Wisconsin
Saturday, March 7, 2026, at 9:00 am
This International Women’s Day, we’re doing something bold — lacing up our boots, hitting the trail, and celebrating the incredible women who inspire us every single day.
Join us for a powerful and exhilarating hike through the stunning Driftless Horse Trail at Governor Dodge State Park — followed by a cold plunge and sauna to reset, recharge, and revel in the strength of womanhood.
This is more than a hike. It’s a celebration of resilience, sisterhood, and the wild, unstoppable spirit of women everywhere.

💜 Who Is This For?
This event is designed for experienced hikers. With 15 miles and 1,650 ft of elevation gain, this trail demands endurance and trail fitness — please be honest with yourself about your level before signing up.
That said, if you’re training for a summer expedition or looking to push your limits, this is the perfect training hike to add to your prep. Challenge yourself, test your gear, and see what you’re made of.
And beyond the trail itself, this is a rare chance to connect with women from all across Wisconsin who share this lifestyle. Women who wake up early, hit the trail, and live boldly. Come ready to make friends, share stories, and find your people.
To every woman who shows up for herself — this hike is for you.
Happy International Women’s Day. See you on the trail. 🌿
