Welcome to Wild Women Escapes!

Our mission is simple: to empower women who are new to outdoor exploration and travel to embrace their sense of adventure, build confidence on the trails, and connect with a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

Wild Women Escapes was born in 2024 from the shared excitement of two childhood best friends who remember what it’s like to take those first steps into the great outdoors. We understand the nerves, the questions, and the thrill of embarking on new adventures, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

In addition to organizing trips nationwide, we have two “in-person hubs” located in Seattle, WA and Minneapolis, MN that host local events and connection opportunities as part of our Wild Women Adventure Club. Our Wild Women Outdoor Academy offers in-person and virtual education opportunities for all.
