Does your daily walk feel safe? Do you have access to crosswalks, sidewalks, and adequate lighting? We will cover the key things needed to walk and feel safe, and how to get involved in making changes. The first class meeting will be a conversation and advocacy hour.

We'll hike a moderate 4.5 miles with 450 feet of elevation gain along Colby Creek, on forest trails, and through meadows filled with wildflowers. The trailhead is at 4,750 feet, high enough to escape the valley heat. Our pace will be leisurely, with time to take photographs, observe and identify wildflowers and birds, enjoy the views, and make new friends. Team up with other women to enjoy a fun day outdoors!
