S11 - Episode #11 - Dominique

🌿 Speaking Up for Our Parks with Dominique 🐾✨

We’re closing out Season 11 of Hikes & Mics with an inspiring conversation featuring Dominique—Georgia-based hiker, national park enthusiast, and advocate for the land we all share. From peaceful strolls through Georgia’s hidden gems to trail work with Trees Atlanta, Dominique reminds us that being outdoorsy isn’t about chasing miles—it’s about care, connection, and community.

She opens up about hiking with her two senior pups, her emotional ties to Death Valley, and the vision behind her Pure Trail POV project. We also dive into the importance of accessible green spaces, acknowledging Indigenous histories, and why she believes that speaking up for our parks is the bare minimum we owe these landscapes.

🎙️ Tune in for a thoughtful season finale that celebrates love for the land, respect for its stories, and the communities built along the way.
