Come explore the Western foothills of the Franklin Mountains with other women, led by a female ranger or volunteer. This hike is open to women of all experience levels who are excited to spend more quality time outdoors.

This hike is a moderate 1.5 mile hike; the hike begins with a gradual incline through a well maintained switchback trail to wide open vistas to the west. The return trip travels down over scree, or rubble, proving to be challenging for some.
