Mount Gretna Area Women Outdoors

Mount Gretna, PA

We are a friendly and welcoming group of women from Mount Gretna and nearby communities in Lebanon and Lancaster county who enjoy getting together in the outdoors, mostly for hiking on area trails. This group was started several years ago after I moved to this area and realized there was an abundance of hiking trails in a close proximity, but being new to the area I was lacking anyone other than my husband with whom to hike. Over the past year I haven't been able to lead many hikes due to family issues, but now I'm hoping to rev things back up and get more hikes posted on a regular basis. Our hikes are generally close to home and relatively short so we can fit outdoors, exercise, and good conversation into our busy lives.

Looking for a relaxed and leisurely hiking/walking group? You've come to the right place! Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time with us! What is mindful hiking? * Being present while on a hike, aka no cell phone, headphones, etc. activity. * Uniting with nature using all senses as a guide to appreciate all it's offerings. * Talking, laughter, and community is **strongly encouraged**, however, members should refrain from controversial topics of political, religious or gossip in nature and ALWAYS remain respectful to fellow hikers. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated and will be cause for immediate removal from the group. What isn't mindful hiking? * Not hiking point A to B as fast as you can. * Not a group where the sole purpose is to get exercise on a hike. * Not affiliated with any religion, but more a way of life…a peaceful and drama-free life! While most of the events will be leisurely hikes to appreciate nature, fresh air and outdoor activity, we will also welcome meditation, yoga, bird watching, and similarly aligned events. In order to be accepted in this group you must 1) have an identifiable photo of yourself in your profile picture and 2) use the name you'd like to be referred to in your profile and add your last name initial.
