Each hiking event or trip has a level tied to it.  This will tell you the level of activity that this event will include.  The calculation includes distance, elevation, and skill level of the person.  

Numerical Rating = Elevation Gain x 2 x distance (in miles) = square root

Easiest 

Numerical Rating: less than 50
A hike that is generally suitable for anyone who enjoys walking. Mostly level or with a slight incline. Generally less than 3 miles. 

Moderate 

Numerical Rating: 50-100
A moderate hike is generally suitable for novice hikers who want a bit of a challenge. The terrain will involve a moderate incline and may have some steeper sections. Generally 3 to 5 miles.

Moderately Strenuous

Numerical Rating: 100 –150
Moderately Strenuous hikes will generally be challenging for an unconditioned person. The terrain will involve a steady and often steep incline. Generally 5 to 8 miles. 

Strenuous 

Numerical Rating: 150-200
Strenuous hikes will challenge most hikers. The hike will generally be longer and steeper, but may be deemed "Strenuous" because of the elevation gain. Generally 7 to 10 miles. 

Very Strenuous 

Numerical Rating : greater than 200
Only well-conditioned and well-prepared hikers should attempt very strenuous hikes. The hike will generally be long and steep, and may include rock scrambling, stream crossings, and other challenging terrain. Generally 8 miles and over. 

Average Pace is:

1.5 miles per hour for easiest trails.
1.4 mph for moderate trails.
1.3 mph for moderately strenuous trails.
1.2 mph for strenuous and very strenuous trails.
 

This is hiking time and does not take into consideration fitness, exploration, rest, contemplation, etc.  On most hiking events we will go at the pace of the majority of the group.

The culture is very inviting.  We welcome all women.  Here are the Etiquette Rules we ask each person to follow:

1) Every woman is welcome

2) Be kind, respectful, and supportive 

3) Three no-shows will result in removal from the group

4) For events, when changing your RSVP from yes to no, give 24 hour notice if possible. This way the wait list group and the leader have time to plan. 

5) All events will start on time.

6) On hikes or other outdoor activities, we will keep the pace of the group. Please only sign up for events that fit your skill level. On hikes, be familiar with the trail in case you fall behind.

8) No Adventuress will be left behind!

9) Please no sales pitches.... but if you are a women starting a new biz let me know. We can partner up to support each other.
