Group trips are one of the most fun and rewarding ways to experience the outdoors. There’s nothing like loading up the car, getting off the grid, and creating memories with other women who love wild spaces and shared experiences. But the truth is: how good a group trip feels often comes down to how everyone shows up for one another. At Her Wilderness, we believe that every woman plays a role in creating the energy of the trip and the best ones are filled with people who are present, helpful, and community-minded.

In the wild, we often find ourselves again. Whether hiking rugged trails, casting lines into glacier-fed rivers, or simply breathing in the crisp morning air around a campfire, the outdoors offers women something the modern world often withholds: a return to self. But as much as adventure builds strength and endurance, it also demands something sacred, restoration. Enter one of the oldest, most powerful wellness rituals known to women across cultures and centuries: the cycle of sauna, cold plunge, and thermal bathing.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by goals. Maybe you can relate, chasing the next milestone, the next launch, the next personal best, thinking “once I get there, then I’ll feel successful, happy, or fulfilled.” But here’s the hard truth I’ve had to face lately: I’ve been so focused on achieving that I forgot to live.

You don’t have to cross state lines to find adventure, sometimes the most meaningful outdoor experiences are hiding in your own backyard.

In this blog, we highlight five of the state’s most stunning parks and hidden gems, and why these places are perfect for women looking to reconnect with nature, themselves, and each other, without having to travel far.

For many women, the idea of traveling solo can feel like standing at the edge of a cliff… equal parts thrilling and terrifying. We understand that stepping into the unknown isn’t always easy. That’s why we’ve created something unique: outdoor adventures where you can travel solo but never be alone.
