At She Moves Mountains, we believe that it's not just about the destination—it's about the journey. Join us on a backpacking adventure where you'll make new friends and memories and learn skills that will last a lifetime.
"If you are even considering doing a SMM trip, I would highly recommend you just go for it, sign up, and join in! I have done everything from some of the rock climbing clinics and retreats to the ice climbing retreat to the Intro to Backpacking course and Backpacking and Yoga Retreat and they have all been so worth it!
All the SMM guides are so knowledgable, so positive and encouraging, and are just really great at what they do because every clinic or retreat I have done has been a nice balance of feeling supported by the guides and being able to push myself a bit more. In particular to the Backpacking and Yoga Retreat, I felt so strong after that trip and I actually enjoyed carrying all my gear and my pack because it showed me I could do it.
Overall, going on the guided Backpacking and Yoga Retreat took away any doubts I was having about backpacking and my abilities and it really provided me with the skills and confidence I needed to get out there on my own now and I cannot wait for my next backpacking trip!"
-Ashley H.(Yoga & Backpacking 2022)
My favorite part was meeting meeting all of the incredible and inspirational women! I left this trip with so many new connections. I recommend She Moves Mountains to all my friends!
The connections made and experience as a whole was incredible, I am saving for my next trip with this organization as we speak. I am hoping to go to Everest next!
