Get to know Hot Girl Hikes:
A hot girl hike is sacred time in nature where you not only exercise, get fresh air, and spend time with friends, but know you’re hot sh*t doing it. Also enjoyed alone, a hot girl hike is a great time to connect with nature, embody gratitude for your life, and manifest your wildest dreams..

FAQs:
Do you have to be a hot girl to go on a hot girl hike?
Duh.
What do you wear on a hot girl hike?
Whatever you want as long as it’s comfy and conditionally appropriate! We love browsing for outfit inspiration on Pinterest, you can see some of my favs here.
Do you do real hikes?
There’s no such thing as a “real” or “fake” hike. Getting outside and walking in nature in any form is a hike according to us! But if you mean do we do difficult hikes- yes! From .5 mile out-and-back hikes to 12-mile loops, we love them all and do our best to include different experience level options on our group trips. Each trip is rated on a scale from easy to advanced, and you’ll find that info on each trip page.
Do you camp? Go backpacking?
Hot Girl Hikes focuses on day hikes and activities with large home or lodge-style accommodations. You can rest easy knowing that you will be sleeping in comfortable beds with central heating/air and robust indoor plumbing.
