Join us for a raucous feminist-themed hike on Mt. Liberty! We'll hike the Whitehouse/Liberty Spring trail for a 8.6 mile roundtrip with ~3000' of elevation gain. If time, weather, and group energy permit, we can traverse over to Mt. Flume, bringing our total to 10.6 miles. There will be abundant chocolate, fun historical facts about women in the Whites, and yes, periodic jokes.
This is day 2 of a 2-day mission, so if there's interest, we'll try to bring the Saturday & Sunday groups together at one of the cabins on Saturday night for some extra bonding.
NOTE: All sexes & genders welcome! We simply want to create a particularly warm and welcoming space for women to come together and find their own rhythm in the outdoors, since for many women, 'outdoor culture' and masculine culture have traditionally gone hand-in-hand. But if (like us) you've ever wanted a rad girl gang to get outside with-- this is the trip for you.
