Janine Dersch grew up on a farm not too far from the Canadian Rockies, as a kid she grew up camping but as an adult developed a love for hiking. As the passion for exploring trails over the past few years grew, Janine and her dogs have been sharing their adventures on social media in hopes of inspiring others to spend more time outdoors and push their comfort zones safely. If you are ever in need of a hiking buddy - even virtually, make sure to follow her on Instagram!
