Learn more about the women's summer hiking series
GUIDED BY DANO ARCHIBEE
My intention with the Women’s Hike Series is to get women out in nature with other women in a supportive and motivating environment. I hope the women who feel adventurous and nervous get out there join me this summer. Each hike is open to women of all skill levels, but you must be able to walk comfortably on your own.
This series includes two beginner hikes, two intermediate level, and two advanced hikes. The beginner hikes will be under a half day, 3 to 4 miles, while keeping our elevation gain below 1,500 feet. The intermediate hikes will be in-between a half and full day, 7 to 9 miles, while gaining over 1,500 feet of elevation. The advanced hikes will be full day, 10 to 13 miles, with elevation gain above 2,500 feet.
If you are interested in doing one of the planned events as a private guided hike, please reach out!
