Fat Girls Hiking

Fat Girls Hiking Body Liberation / Fat Activism / Outdoor Community There are 37 chapters of Fat Girls Hiking across the US, Canada, England and Sweden.

Fat Girls Hiking is an outdoor community for and by fat people, founded in May 2015 in Portland, OR by Summer Michaud-Skog. More information can be found at fatgirlshiking.com

Our mission: Fat Girls Hiking is fat activism, body liberation & outdoor community. We want to take the shame and stigma out of the word FAT and empower it. Our motto, Trails Not Scales focuses on Self Care in the outdoors.

We want to create a space where fat and marginalized folks can come together in community to create safer spaces in the outdoors. Fat Girls Hiking is a community where people can access outdoor spaces in a way that meets their needs. We believe in representation for fat folks, folks of all ages, races, ethnicities, religions, classes, abilities, genders and sexual identities. NO diet talk, NO weight loss talk, NO body shaming and NO bigotry of any kind is allowed in our online or real-life spaces. Our community is a safer space for marginalized folks and allies!

💛Mutual Aid Request💛

I was in an accident in my van and it’s totaled. (I was miraculously uninjured!) I live in a rural area with no public transportation. I need a vehicle to get to work and for errands in town. I’m getting a car later this summer and need to rent one in the meantime. I live paycheck to paycheck. Any amount helps me get a rental to get me through this. I appreciate y’all. —Summer

Q***r Hike 🏳️‍🌈✨💜 in my tiny coastal town!

I’ve been helping to organize Pride events for my rural, small town q***r community since 2024. It’s been such a gift to create space with other LGBTQIA+ folks! It’s healing to know that we can create positive change for our friends and neighbors. It’s so rewarding!

Support small town q***r communities! Check out for ways to help. Donations, shares, likes, words of affirmation, volunteer or attend our events!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Thank you to for my adorable Pride top, sun hat and socks! They are such huge supporters of my work and PRIDE and I actually love their products 🫶🩷✨

Have you attended small town Pride events? 🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️
