I love hiking in the fresh air of mountain and sea, and want to join with other women in exploring hiking trails in Santa Cruz and neighboring counties. The goal is to get good exercise, enjoy good company, and experience the serenity of the great outdoors. Most of the hikes I will organize will be in the 3- to 7- mile range with a gain of 200 to 1800 feet.  If you're not ready to do the longer steeper hikes, you are welcome to come and do a portion of the hike, then return on your own. This gro …

Run for fun - in rain or sun - on dirt, rocks, mud, grass or sand. Run with us, alone, for a cause or for yourself. Run barefoot, in flip flops, or high-tech trainers.  Run in your PJs, birthday suit, or latest, greatest gear.  Run at night under a full moon or under the mid-day blazing sun.  Run without rules or plans.  Run because you want to- not because you have to.    Our Meet ups feature non-competitive, set-your-own-pace trail runs through county parks, often combined with group activiti …

This schedule could expand to additional days or short weekend hikes (probably on Sunday afternoons) if there is enough interest and participat …
