What we’re about
PNW Women's Outdoor Group's motto is: Empowering women one step at a time. Our purpose is to bring women of the Pacific Northwest together who are 18 years or older and of all levels of fitness, for new adventures & experiences; to learn new skills; to discover new favorite adventures and to share camaraderie with other like-minded PNW women. PNW women’s outdoor group is all about creating new friendships and encouraging each other to reach personal fitness goals, all while enjoying outdoor activities.
These are some types of hikes &/or activities we have hosted since the formation of our group in 2013: Local area hikes through Forest Park, the "4T", around the waterfront & in your neighborhood. We've led hikes and backpack trips throughout the Gorge, Coastal Range, Mt Hood, Mt St Helen's, Mt Rainer, Mt Adams, to name a few. Our volunteer event organizers have also hosted many road trips which included camping/backpacking/hiking, to Canada, Yellowstone, Sawtooths, Steen's, Grand Canyon, Utah's big 5 National Parks, Redwoods, etc. If we're not hiking/backpacking, we're Car Camping, Mushroom Hunting, Wildflower Identifying, Snowshoeing, Cross Country Skiing, Downhill Skiing, Snowboarding, Climbing, Kayaking, Sailing, rafting…. Social activities have included group gatherings, pot lucks, book discussions, park concerts, etc. We have also offered Outdoor Education Workshops, as well as opportunities to serve our community with volunteer events, both indoors and out. We hope to be able to build back up to provide these types of activities in the very near future, so are also recruiting new event organizers. Thanks!
