Peak Northwest

Women of color come together with Trail Mixed outdoor excursions


Listen Later

Across the Pacific Northwest, Trail Mixed is bringing people together.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we talk to two leaders of the Portland chapter of the West coast collective, which creates space for women of color to learn, teach and recreate together outside.

Vivian Tang and Jenny Bryan talk about what it’s been like to participate and become leaders in the organization, which organizes runs, hikes, climbs and other excursions centered around outdoor recreation. These gatherings have grown a community that is now thriving in Portland and beyond.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

  • What exactly is Trail Mixed and how did it begin?
  • How the organization creates space for people to thrive in the outdoors.
  • The Portland chapter has been growing over the years, as more people discover Trail Mixed.
  • What it means for people to find this kind of community.
