About Trudy

Welcome to Gal On The Trail!

I am Trudy, the creator behind Gal On The Trail http://galonthetrail.com My hope is that my passion for the outdoors and desire to help others explore the great outdoors shine through on this site. I am a retired educator and now have time to get out more and do what I love the most!

My Outdoor Philosophy is belief in the power of nature to empower and inspire people of all skill levels to recreate in nature! My approach to outdoor activities is as an enthusiast, not as a hardcore athlete. Sharing the joy and humor found in every outdoor adventure is what it is all about for me.

Growing up in the wilds of Alaska has shaped my love for the outdoors. I have memorable encounters with wildlife and braving extreme weather conditions. The importance of friendship and community in outdoor pursuits has been a huge part of my life, and I will continue to seek out these things. I have formed amazing friendships through outdoor recreation as we support each other to try our best even if we are thigh high in the snow from jumping off the path to avoid an angry moose!

Along the trail, I hope to offer guidance and support for your outdoor adventures! I hope to give tips for choosing the right trails, safety, gear, new activity, and trail snacks (who doesn’t like a good trail snack!) My commitment to helping you step out of your comfort zone and enjoy the great outdoors is a goal of mine for all of my readers! If you have thought about changing things up and heading outside, I would love to inspire and support you!

I love all things outdoors! I hope to empower you to get out and try something new or different! I love to hike, walk, paddle board, swim, explore, and travel new places! I push myself out of my comfort zone while joining a new group, exploring a new trail or participating in a new adventure. I can’t wait to explore with you!

Happy Trails,

-Trudy
