From peaceful strolls through Georgiaâs hidden gems to trail work with Trees Atlanta, Dominique reminds us that being outdoorsy isnât about chasing milesâitâs about care, connection, and community.
She opens up about hiking with her two senior pups, her emotional ties to Death Valley, and the vision behind her Pure Trail POV project.
