Hi there!!

We are so glad that you have found us here at Trail Dames!!! This is an amazing group of women and we are growing by leaps and bounds.

Trail Dames is the first nation-wide women's hiking organization, and our goal is to create a fun, safe place where all women, regardless of age, experience, or fitness level can enjoy the outdoors.

We have many chapters as well as a Trail Dames Foundation specifically for education, philanthropy and trail maintenance. You can find the Trail Dames membership application at http://www.traildames.com/.

There is a small yearly fee to join Trail Dames, but you are invited to come on a couple of hikes and try us out before you join.

All of the hike and event information, including directions to the hikes, times and FAQ, can be found here on the meetup site, while other information can be found at the official Trail Dames website, www.traildames.com.

Also, please join us on Facebook and meet some of your fellow Dames around the country https://www.facebook.com/groups/49722445862/

Your Head Dame is Catherine. If you have any questions about anything, please don't hesitate to email us at info@traildames.com.

This is a very exciting, welcoming group and we are really looking forward to you hiking with us sometime soon!!

Anna, Founder- Trail Dames
