Dirty Boot Diva was created to bring like-minded women together to enjoy the great outdoors. Women who might prefer a manicure and pedicure to breaking a sweat. Women who feel intimidated becoming involved in outdoor activities after a certain age. Women who might be struggling with depression or other medical issues that can be mentally and physically debilitating. Women who might already love the great outdoors, but want to enjoy it with ladies in their own age demographic. There are plenty of outdoor programs and groups to explore, but Dirty Boot Diva is geared specifically towards women 40 and older. It’s never too late to learn how to hike, backpack, camp and more! My goal is to inspire you to embrace the dirty woman inside, without giving up your diva side, too. Please join me and let me bring out the Dirty Boot Diva in you. Are you ready to get out and get dirty? Let’s go!​
