Dog friendly hiking blog

Thank you for visiting my hiking blog!

The Modern Female Hiker is a blog for outdoor lovers, dog parents (we have a chocolate lab and a basset hound) & weekend warriors. I have been fortunate enough to hike all over the world when I have time off work, and I’m so excited to share tips & tricks with you on how to get the most out of your weekends and precious vacation days.

I especially love taking my dogs with me so if possible I always look for dog-friendly hikes.

If you ever have specific questions, leave a comment, or my emails and DMs are always open!
