Cal "Starburst" Dobbs (they/he) | The Hiker Podcast

By far one of my favorite interviews in 30 months of doing the Podcast. This week I’m excited and honored to have a conversation with Cal "Starburst" Dobbs (they/he)! Cal "Starburst" Dobbs (they/he) @cal_hikes is a 26 year old queer and trans hiker, runner, and teacher. They are the first known transgender person to complete the Triple Crown of hiking. Cal used his 7,000+ miles of backpacking to raise $7000 for the Trevor Project, an organization that provides resources and support to lgbtq+ youth and allies. In 2023 Cal will be running across America to raise awareness about anti-trans legislation and fundraise for local groups working to protect and advocate for trans youth.
