Emily Ford: The First Woman To Hike The 1200-Mile Ice Age Trail In Winter
Thank you so much for tuning in to for the first of eight episodes in this season of the Tara Lake Show. Today I have a special interview to share. Back in March, the talented and intrepid Emily Ford completed Wisconsin’s 1200-mile Ice Age Trail, and made history in the process. She’s only the first woman, and second person ever to complete the hike in winter, and when she braved those below zero degree temperatures, she also blazed a trail for inclusion and diversity. Emily Ford is also the first African American and first LGBTQ person ever to achieve this feat. I sat down with Emily to discuss her accomplishments in May, 2021, and now I’m so pleased to be sharing this interview with you.
