What we’re about
This group is all about building a strong, vibrant community of women through shared experiences and meaningful connections. We welcome women who are open-minded, positive, and excited to explore life both outdoors and indoors.
Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where women can connect, foster friendships, and grow together through meaningful events and shared experiences—building a community with purity of purpose, free from personal financial gain.
If you’re looking to make new friends, expand your circle, and create lasting memories, come join us!
This group is for women of all backgrounds, races, colors, creeds, and status.
What we'll do: Plenty of easy to moderate hikes, plus lunches, dinners, potlucks, park days, day trips, meet and greets, bowling, book clubs, and volunteering, etc. Always open to new ideas!
Events will mostly be in the San Gabriel Valley, but also LA & OC areas.
Before joining, please read a few guidelines below.
ATTENDANCE:
Be respectful of the organizer and group. If plans change, please update your RSVP as soon as possible and notify the event organizer as a courtesy. No showing to an event, especially with a wait-list, or changing your RSVP at the last minute means you took someone else’s spot. If you are a no-show 3 times without at least letting the organizer(s) know, you may be suspended or removed from the group. A lot of work and time is dedicated to organizing events and we ask for your consideration in return.
HIKES
Hikes will range from easy (<5 miles, <2000’ gain) to moderate (5-10 miles, 2000-3500’ gain), with an occasional strenuous hike (10+ miles, >3500’ gain). Pace will be 2-3 mph (average). There’s time for pictures on the trails, but please be aware of your fitness level and considerate of the time so everyone could have a good experience and complete the hike within the allotted time.

Please have a clear photo of yourself on your profile so we can identify you.
