We welcome all fit women over the age of 18. Although we do not have an age limit, some trails and their terrain can be limiting. Be sure to read trail descriptions and consider the difficulty rating. We generally keep a 20 minute per mile pace. We make frequent stops to enjoy flora/fauna and to share knowledge.
We have active women in their 70s who are able to keep pace on the hikes. We’ve had sisters and mother-daughter duos enjoy themselves immensely on these trips.
