One of the aspects that we love about outdoor trips is the links we make with other women. One of the aspects we love about the Internet is the ability to find information on almost any subject imaginable. In both cases we find that guides are helpful to this process. In this section we provide an annotated list of links we think you might find useful. We've divided them into categories for easier browsing. If you think there's a link we should have here, let us know.
