Do you feel safer walking with a friend? Want to meet other women who have common interests? Ready to meet your goals and get in a healthy exercise session? Join our Women's Walking Group as we trek the New River Trail!
Meet a ranger for a moderately paced, brisk, morning walk at the Draper access. We will begin at 9 a.m. The hike will last about one hour and cover nearly 3 miles. Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes and bring water to drink. Let’s create a safe space for each other and encourage one another in our goals!
The trail surface is crushed stone and a gentle grade. Leashed pets are welcome. This program is weather dependent. Please check our event listing on the New River Trail website for cancellations.
