Do you like: hiking? feminism? brownies? working towards intentional & inclusive spaces in the outdoors? bad wordplay?
If yes, come join us for the 2nd annual Tampons on Crampons hike, where we'll discuss all of the above with a group of rad female-identifying folks on Osceola! We'll have abundant chocolate, fun historical facts about women in the Whites, and yes, periodic jokes.
[PLEASE NOTE: We more than welcome all genders and sexes on this hike, but please know that a large focus of this hike is to facilitate discussions about gender in the outdoor community and to create a space for MITOC women to come together. If you're not interested in contributing to these conversations, please join us on a later hike and save the spot for someone who will!]
Key stats: 7.6 miles, ~3300 ft of elevation gain. If time and energy permit, we'll continue on to East Osceola. Trail deets here: http://4000footers.com/osceola.shtml
