This weatherrr… swoon!!! Who’s ready to hike???!!!

We’re hitting it hard, right out the gate this go, Babe! As always we’ve got our hikes from Spring & Summer that were cancelled for one reason or another. I’ve also added my most favorite Fall & Winter hikes! My favorites do include more of the longer, somewhat challenging hikes. They have an incredibly fun mix of terrain, some of which will include rock scrambling. If you’re newer to hiking & that sounds a little intimidating, please do not let this deter you. The reward is breathtaking landscapes; literally, we’re gonna be wheezing honey, but I promise it’s worth it!

For everyone who joined the squad over the end of August & month of September, WELCOME to the Fat Stoner Babes Hiking Club! Be sure to keep those peepers peeled for updates about our scheduled hikes! I try to get detailed info posted for all of our upcoming hikes a few days before we head out, but I’m a busy af Mama, so once in a while those details will be posted / emailed out in the wee hours of the night or insanely early morning of. Usually I’ll post all the details of our hikes here on our website first, so if you’re not seeing anything on social media, check the website. I’ll always tag everyone in the comments of the posts on Facebook, so hopefully ya don’t miss it! On that note, we are sorta shadow-banned on some platforms due to the naughty by nature of our clurb, so you might have to be more intentional about wandering on over to our pages.

What do I mean when I say “the details”… I mean the adventure date, time & meet-up location / park + trail. I also do a bit of research on each trail & share that with you. Maps, information about the terrain, flora, fungi, fauna. I try to share the history of the places we go & what makes those locations special. I share links to photos & videos so that you can have a visual of what to expect. I keep a close eye on the weather & trail conditions, park closures, etc & keep you updated as we get closer to adventure time.

All hikes are weather dependent, Love; I play it safe with our group, we don’t test MoNa around here. I do have a handful of easier, paved & more local hikes in my back pocket should the weather be too crappy for a day trip / challenging hike but ok enough for an easier walk. Whatever hikes that may be cancelled will be kicked into the following season for us to enjoy.

Some of these hikes are a haul outta StL! Gas prices are currently fucking obnoxious, as you well know. We love carpooling around here! If you ever wanna join a hike but need a ride, reach out via comments, make a post in the private FB group, or hit me up privately & we will do our best to get ya hooked up with ride out & back. If you have room & would like to offer a ride, same thing, let us know! Not always a guarantee, but we seem to have pretty good luck. Ya might just meet your new bestie this way too!

Feel free to bring a snack or pack a lunch & stay a while. Often times folks do that midwest g’bye thang & we end up hanging out for an hour after the hike, just enjoying each other’s company & our gorgeous lands. — Please remember to pack out what you pack in & Leave No Trace.

Be on the look out for some Saturday Side Quests! An additional rockhounding day in November & some other fun get togethers not posted on the schedule!

˖᯽ ݁˖ Any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me personally or leave a comment, make a post, etc. We have a fantastic group of OG Babes who are super helpful & amazing people, so if for some reason I’m not around, they are usually great about jumping in to answer questions on social media.

Hey, Babe… the Universe didn’t conspire to perfectly assemble all of your beautiful, bodacious speckles of stardust so that you could just sit at home being bored, longing for connection, doom scrolling & stressin’ about some (seriously valid) buuullllshiii. Lace up & let’s go live a little!!! Come hike, recalibrate & heal in nature with us!

See you soon, Schnookums!
