Emily Ford (born 1992 or 1993) is an American hiker. She is known for being the second person, and the first woman, and the first person of color, to complete the 1,200-mile (1,900 km) Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin in winter.[1][2][3]
The hike was later dramatized in the documentary Breaking Trail, which debuted at the Banff International Film Festival on 7 November 2021.[1] Ford has also since skied across the Boundary Waters.[4]
