Physical Fitness Requirement
This hiking retreat is designed for adventurous and active women. Please review the hike details provided for information on distance and elevation. To gauge your readiness, consider using a hiking app to simulate these conditions or join a local hiking group, such as the Marin Women’s Hiking Group.

Participants should be in good physical condition and comfortable with moderate to challenging terrain. While the hikes are not super challenging, fitness levels are relative, and some days will feature more demanding terrain. Plan on approximately 5 to 7 miles each day. At least one day will involve elevation gains of up to 1,700 feet, while others will feature gentler terrain, with a few days offering a balance between the two—each still providing a rewarding and memorable challenge. Expect varied terrain, including steep ascents, rocky paths, and potentially some uneven footing and exposure. Strong cardiovascular fitness and stamina are essential, as is the ability to handle altitude and variable weather conditions. Regular cardiovascular exercise, such as stair-climbing, running, or even better, HIKING, is highly beneficial.

If you have any concerns about your fitness level or health, please consult with your doctor before joining the retreat. For participants over 70 or with chronic or serious health conditions, a doctor’s note confirming your ability to safely participate in all activities is required. Participants not meeting the fitness requirements may be asked to refrain from participating to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the group.
