About me

The Trekking Mama

Hi! I am Teri.

Hi, I’m Teri—photographer + hiker behind The Trekking Mama. I share family adventures and solo journeys on bucket list trails, hoping to inspire women to explore—kids in tow or on their own.

☕ Like what you see? If my trail guides, gear tips, or trip ideas have helped you plan an adventure—or inspired one—I’d be so grateful if you’d consider “buying me a coffee.” It helps fuel the blog (and my backcountry caffeine habit). Thank you for supporting The Trekking Mama! Buy Me a Coffee ☕
