We offer a variety of hikes for all different experience levels and interests. Our hiking activities typically fall under one of the following - read for more info:

Happy Trails: The Happy Trails Hikes are about movement, connection and getting out on the trails in or around Winnipeg during the week. This series of hikes is open to all experience and fitness levels and are designed to provide an opportunity to get active outdoors while connecting with like-minded individuals from the Backcountry Women community.

Adventure Women: These hikes are open to participants with an average level of fitness who have some hiking experience. Participants in Adventure Women are expected to walk with the group at a moderate pace for the duration of the activity. There are several opportunities for breaks and photos during these hikes. Participants are expected to come to the activity with appropriate outerwear and gear, and meet our pre-requisite requirements - this ensures participants are appropriately matched to the event for everyone's safety and enjoyment.

Warrior Women: These are our most advanced hikes which are open to participants with a good level of fitness who also have intermediate or above level hiking experience, and good endurance. The pace is moderate to fast (3-3.5 kph) and the participants must have the ability to walk with the group on longer distance trails while keeping the pace steady for the duration of the activity. Participants are required to come to the activity with appropriate outerwear and gear covering the ten essentials of hiking, and meet our pre-requisite requirements - this ensures participants are appropriately matched to the event for everyone's safety and enjoyment.
