Lexi Stickel
Women Who Hike Ambassador
My name is Lexi Stickel (@lexi.irene on Instagram). I currently live Salem, Ore. and work within the nonprofit field. I'm the daughter of a badass mama who raised me hiking, nordic skiing, fishing, camping, and canoeing all of over the Pacific Northwest. After a brief period of typical teenage rebellion, I fell in love with hiking and backpacking again when living in Eugene. It all started with a pup named Frida and a need for self-care in graduate school. I started with short hikes along the city's trail system and soon caught the bug. One of my favorite recent adventures was a long day scrambling up the Renfew Glacier on Middle Sister. When I'm not hiking, I'm probably out in a kayak, paddle board, or up in the mountains on snowshoes or nordic skis. I'm passionate about building community through time spent in the outdoors and am excited to plan inclusive hikes for ladies in the Willamette Valley. I have my Wilderness First Aid certification through NOLS. I'm a proud dog human to two amazing pups and when appropriate you'll them on the trails with me!
