Allison is the found of She Dreams of Alpine where she works as an outdoor educator and empowerment coach. She teaches women how to become safe, confident and self sufficient backpackers.

She is the reason I scored a permit NOBO on the JMT this summer. We talk everything from safety, gear, nutrition-- the episode has a little bit of everything about how to get started hiking or backpacking.
