Isabel Norman
Head Dame
NY - Capital District Chapter

Hi all!
I'm Isabel from Staten Island, NY but have been living in the Capital Region for a few years now. While I'm a city girl at heart, I love the freedom and peace I feel when I'm out on a trail, swapping out car horns and loud music for chirping birds and leaves in the breeze. I work in higher education and am a proud dog mom to Cowboy, my 7-year old King Charles Cavalier, who occasionally joins us on a hike. I love trying out new and different places to hike and am a sucker for a beautiful view or waterfall. I'm still learning but I love the opportunity to share from others, and even more so, to share what I'm learning. I'm on a mission to convert more city people to nature people!
The Capital Region offers tons of diverse hiking opportunities and you will get to meet a great group of women who are supportive, funny, adventurous, and just overall badass. Whether you have been hiking for years or never at all, there is a space for you here in the Capital Region we Trail Dames call home.
Looking forward to seeing you on the trails!
