Welcome to The Dirty Boot Diva Show! My name is Dahlia and I’m a self-proclaimed diva! I love fashion! I love shopping! I love primping! I love pampering! A few years ago, something was missing from my life and I began a journey that eventually led me to create Dirty Boot Diva. I'm reaching out to my diva sisters out there, specifically ages 40 and older, but everyone is welcome to come along. I learned it's never too late to start hiking, backpacking, camping and more. I'll share all of my hiking escapades that led up to my first attempt to thru-hike The Colorado Trail in 2019. I overcame countless obstacles, but didn't complete the 485-mile trek. (I intend to go back to finish what I started!) Until then, I hope to light a spark in like-minded ladies by offering tips, tricks and lessons I learned along the way. I hope you join me on this exciting journey and let me inspire the Dirty Boot Diva in you!

Water or Wine? Which one would YOU take on a day hike?

I’m Dahlia and I created Dirty Boot Diva to bring like-minded women together to enjoy the great outdoors hiking, backpacking, camping and more. You’re not an outdoorsy kind of gal? Imagine for a moment what it would be like to disable that diva lifestyle and hit a dirt trail instead. I got dirty hiking, backpacking and camping for the very first time at the age of 45. My goal is to inspire women 40 and older to embrace their “dirty” side without giving up their diva side, too. Please join me and let me bring out the Dirty Boot Diva in you. Get out and get dirty!
