Our History

In the Beginning

We began officially in the summer of 2013. There were 6 of us on that first hike...Mostly teachers who liked to hike in the summer. (These photos are from that hike.) As the years have gone by, some of us have retired or our work schedules have changed and we began to hike year round.

How Did We Get to Over 100 Members?

Word of Mouth! Most of the women in our club have heard from other women that we hike and we have a lot of fun. The largest number of hikers on a hike was around 20. Most often, the ladies look at the destination, consider the weather, think about what they are up for, and join us when they can. We average 10 to 15 hikers in the summer months and 6 to 12 in the colder seasons. There is no obligation to hike. There are no fees. We just ask that you let us know you will be joining us.

What About Our Name?

Well, that's a funny story...And if you want to hear it and/or find out what the HHH means, you'll have to hike with us!

Fun!

We have been eaten alive by bugs, lost in the woods a couple of times, and endured rain, snow, and high winds. And we still have fun! We are game for a little adventure and have found unexpected wonders on the trail. We occasionally throw in a social event like lunch out at a nearby restaurant, a dish-to-pass, or a picnic. More fun!

All women are welcome! Our ages vary, our sizes and shapes vary, our ability levels vary. It doesn't matter. What does matter is that we all have fun!
