We’re going to start by stating the obvious, our motivation is to help people get outside by giving them the tools, knowledge, and courage they need to do so. Our adventures focus primarily on women, but don’t worry guys, you’re allowed to join in on the fun...sometimes! But, for the purpose of the information below, we’re talkin’ to you, ladies!
Delving into a new sport, activity, or hobby can be daunting, especially when it comes to the backcountry. It’s difficult to decide where to go, what difficulty is right for you, what to bring, who to go with, and the list continues. Many people have had the pleasure of dabbling in various backcountry activities through tagging along with a person or a group who know exactly what their doing. Others haven’t had this opportunity. Even when you are able to head out with people who know their way around the backcountry, it’s rare you would walk away feeling comfortable or equipped to do the same on your own or with a less experienced group. Our aim is to give women of all backgrounds a chance to get outside and explore in the mountains, learn everything they need to know to explore on their own in the future, and have a blast while doing it. Does this sound like your cup of tea? Here’s what you need to know:
