One Year of Girls Gone Hiking Utah. Here's What We Built.

A year ago, Girls Gone Hiking was a simple idea in Utah: invite a few women outside and see what happens. Twenty-six hikes later, the number that matters most is not a follower count. It is the friendships that now exist because women decided to show up.

We watched first-time hikers become regulars, regulars become leaders, and strangers become the people who check in on one another off trail. Utah remains our founding chapter and the blueprint for thoughtful growth in every state that follows.
