Description: Join us for a womens+ weekend of hiking and camping in White Mountain National Forest in NH! We’ll camp together Friday and Saturday nights at a family-run campground, sharing meals and time around the campfire and choosing from 2 or 3 hikes offered to nearby mountains on Saturday and Sunday.
We’ll arrive Friday night to set up tents and gather as a group to talk about the hikes on Saturday. Saturday hikes will range from Moderate to Strenuous in difficulty (the easiest hike offered on Saturday will have ~2000 ft of elevation). Hike destinations will include 4000 footers and 52 With a View peaks. The goal of this trip is to offer a supportive group for womens+ hikers to challenge themselves, and have fun doing it! This trip is a good fit for you if you have previous hiking experience with distance and elevation of 5mi/1200ft or more. This trip is a great fit for participants in the Womens+ Hiking Series, but you do not need to have participated in the series to join this trip! If you’d like to see hikes in the series, click here.
If you are interested in joining, but don’t have camping gear, please let us know when we reach out to finalize your registration. We’re happy to help with sourcing loaner gear or suggest low cost gear options. We’ll be staying at a quiet family owned campground in NH with showers and flush toilets. Participants are responsible for bringing their own overnight camping gear, as well as lunches and trail snacks. The following meals will be provided: breakfast and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday.
