Saying Goodbye to Fall. Women’s Community HikeOne last trail party before the season shifts.
Before fall makes its quiet exit, let’s gather on the trail to soak in the final bursts of color, breathe in the crisp air, and enjoy time together in nature.
This hike is all about connection, connecting with each other, with the outdoors, and with the season as it turns. It’s a cozy, low-pressure space to be in community and prep for the colder hikes ahead. Whether you’re a hiking newbie or a winter trail regular, you’re welcome here.
We’ll take this chance to:
• Practice layering for colder weather
• Chat about gear for winter hikes
• Move, laugh, and share space outside
Think of it as a farewell to fall and a soft launch into winter hiking.
Full gear checklist below, bring what you have, and feel free to reach out if you need help borrowing or finding something.
