While we love our men and our guy friends, experiencing the outdoors with a group of women is a different game. When it comes to the outdoors, we believe in equity, not necessarily equality. (Don't understand what we mean by that statement? Come check us out and you'll discover the true meaning!) We believe in physical strength, but also the inner strength of great women. We believe in a caring and nurturing community, where all women are free to be themselves - safe to admit their weaknesses, s …

If yo …
