A volunteer-run, community-based nonprofit serving women+ in Virginia and beyond
Brought to life by Stephanie Whitesides in 2021, our Facebook Group has served as a space to connect women+ with one another to enjoy Virginia’s hiking trails together. Since 2022, we are an independent nonprofit organization connecting women+ with the education, resources, and tools they need to enjoy the outdoors.
Mission
To educate, connect, and empower women+ in Virginia to grow and heal their minds, bodies, and souls — whether on the trail or off.
