Sirena Rana Dufault

I have been sharing my outdoor stories, writing, photos and videos to educate and inspire people to take on their own adventures for over a decade! I'm excited to cultivate a community of folks on Patreon that want access to exclusive content, videos, behind the scenes look at my writing, adventures and trail work and more.

My first book, Best Day Hikes on the Arizona National Scenic Trail, with Wilderness Press, will be released in Fall 2020. Patrons will get advance notice of presentations, events as well as access to photos and material that didn't make it in the book and videos I made during the research process. For a limited time at the Juniper level and above, you'll even get your name listed in the book!

Background
I have logged thousands of miles hiking, backpacking, rafting, and canyoneering in the Southwest, both for fun and working as a guide. I have Fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, and nature has helped me in so many ways.

My company, Trails Inspire, provides consulting services dedicated to promoting the outdoors as a place of personal health, economic development and tourism through public speaking, freelance writing, photography and trail design and development. Trails Inspire is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion for outdoor spaces.

I've volunteered at Wildlife Rehabilitation in Northwest Tucson for 10 years and love sharing photos of the birds and animals I've had an opportunity to work with! I've also got a particularly attractive adventure companion, Micro Chicken.
