Opening The Door
Have you ever noticed how few solitary backcountry women travelers there are? I keep passing single men, couples, groups, but almost no women out and about on their own. Many of the women I have talked with who express desire to adventure on their own say they are afraid to do so. Yeah, I get it. I was too. But, one day I woke up and decided that dying in the backcountry was as good a place to head out as any, and began taking wonderful trips near and far. I've never felt better, I've never experienced my worst nightmares out there, and I dearly want to support other women in getting out where they want and when they want.
This is a 4 day journey that includes creating supportive community, learning new skills, and trying them out on a 24 hour solo. Our location in the West will be the outstanding West Clear Creek, southeast of Flagstaff in Northern Arizona. This wilderness area provides swimming holes and cool shade, as well as great camping and gorgeous scenery. In the East, it will be in a wild river area of North Florida. We will paddle in to our site and camp on the banks amidst herons, turtles, cypress, and freshwater springs.
Trips will take place in Northern Arizona and North Florida.
