From the founder of the Fat Girls Hiking community, this inclusive and inspiring guide to the great outdoors will inspire people of all body types, sizes, abilties, and backgrounds.

Fat Girls Hiking brings a proud, body-positive attitude to the world of hiking and outdoor recreation. Summer Michaud-Skog, founder of the Fat Girls Hiking community, has created a book brimming with heartfelt stories, practical advice, personal profiles of Fat Girls Hiking community members, and trail reviews. It all serves to spread the Fat Girls Hiking message of inclusivity in the outdoors. Equal parts empowering and practical, Fat Girls Hiking adds an important voice to the conversation about diversity in the outdoors, raising the visibility of hikers who have too long been marginalised.
