Women hikers have hit their stride. Lacing up their hiking boots and hitting the hiking trail, women hikers are becoming sole mates in huge numbers—15 million American women hike regularly, and more than 50 million call themselves fitness walkers.  

Hiking for women has been redefined, glamorized, aerobicized and declared the sport of the new millennium, leaving running and cycling in the dust. Health spas everywhere feature hiking trails, starlets and celebrities hike the hills of Hollywood, and women’s hiking clubs across the country enable women from coast to coast to enjoy the great outdoors in good company, and without hiking alone.  

You like to hike and you like to travel. You’re a special kind of hiker, a Traveling Hiker. 

Traveling hikers have a spirit of adventure, a natural curiosity about people and places far from home, a sense of humor that enables them to take every curve in the road in stride and a young-at-heart spirit common to active people of all ages and stages of life. 

They also share a love of nature, an appreciation of the green world and a desire to stay active and healthy while participating in a kind of travel that challenges body and mind.
