New to Nature or Beginner & Easier Trips
Everyone starts somewhere, and these trips are built specifically for those who didn't grow up in the woods. We focus on the absolute basics—how to pack a bag, how to read a trail map, and what to do if the weather turns. We offer advice and manageable miles to help you get comfortable in the outdoors at your own pace.
Low-Impact Hikes and Entry-Level Skills
We offer accessible entry points regardless of where you are located. In the Blue Ridge, our Pisgah Waterfalls Hiking Tour or the Intro to Backpacking near Asheville, NC provide a slow-paced introduction to the mountains. On the West Coast, you can try Women's Beginner Mountain Biking near Portland, OR or Women's Overnight Backpacking near Portland, OR.
