Women hiking: Outdoor hiking trips for women

Outdoor hiking is rejuvenating and relaxing. Surrounded by beauty and breathing fresh air, the rhythms of hiking gradually banish the myriad concerns of every day life. Anyone of any age can hike and outdoor hiking is a great way to improve your level of physical conditioning. We have two guides on every trip and everyone is encouraged to hike at her own pace; you won't feel pushed to hike faster than you feel comfortable or held back if you enjoy pushing it. And an added bonus? Its really hard to gain weight on an outdoor hiking trip.
