What we’re about
This a group for WOC (Women of Color) hikers in the Bay Area. This includes cis, gay, straight, non-binary and trans women, and anyone who identifies as a woman of color.
I started this group to meet other outdoorsy women of color who like to hike! Being an avid hiker and backpacker, I have often found that POCs (and especially WOC) aren't well-represented in the outdoors, and I'd like to do what I can to change that by giving WOC a safe space to hike and experience the outdoors.
If you also like happy hours and brunch, and discussing current events/social justice (and maybe even discussing current events/social justice over happy hour or brunch), we'll probably do some of that too!
Hikes will take place primarily in Marin, Peninsula, East and South Bay. All skill levels welcome.

Looking forward to hiking!
