HOT GIRL HIKES:
Hot Girl Hikes are 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 manifest your wildest dreams by thinking about how great you are and everything wonderful that’s happening and will happen for you.
imagine yourself here:
think coffee rings on the table because no one wants to pause the story, campfire smoke lingering in your hair, and that same carefree feeling you had at summer camp
only now, you’ve found your confidence, your people, and your place on higher ground.
MEET THE HOT GIRLS
Katie Gassmann is the founder of Hot Girl Hikes, a hiking group focused on creating memorable and empowering outdoor experiences for the girlies. Welcome! Known for her grand ideas and big plans, she has set the personal goal to visit all 63 National Parks. Some of them are extra special and become the perfect spot to engage with our beautiful landscapes and make new friends through Hot Girl Hikes! Creating community is a passion for both Katie and Trinity.

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 condition appropriate! We love browsing for outfit inspiration on Pinterest, you can see some of my favs here.
Do you do even 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.
Do you camp? Go backpacking?
Hot Girl Hikes trips focus on day hikes and activities and 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 plumping ;)
