It was an absolutely perfect day to put another 5.5 miles on the books! So, we did just that! Deep gratitude for each awesome soul who helped make today's hike the vibe that it was. I'm in constant awe of the bonds of sisterhood and friendship that are established on the trails and humbled by each new Goddess who lends her/their energy to making Camping Noire what it is...a community of dope ass womxn, exploring the beauty of nature through adventure and unapologetically taking up space outdoors.  More hike pics/video coming soon and don't forget to tag #campingnoire in your recaps. We out here! 🤎 ▪︎ ▪︎ Want to attend a future hike or outdoor event?

November may have come and gone but we're still floating from Sunday's #GoddessHike.  Clear blue skies and crisp fall air made for perfect hiking conditions. Couple that with the high vibrational creative and mental energy  these ladies brought to the trail and you have a recipe for magic to happen.  In this case 'magic' was a safe space for us to be our authentic selves and to meet the mountain where we were - with no pretense or expectation of what "good" looked like...to overcome any self-doubt in the moments we felt challenged by the miles that lied ahead and get by with a little help from a sisterfriend... Our presence and collective joy was an act of rebellion and yeah, it drew stares from some passersby but we showed up to show out and appreciate mother nature for each one of her beautiful gifts. Our last hike of the year is Dec 27...register via the link in our bio to get your dose of magic to carry you into the new year!! 🖤 *** Hike Stats: ▪︎ Location: Watchung Reservation ▪︎ Difficulty: Moderate ▪︎Weather Conditions: 55° and sunny ▪︎ Total Distance: 8.2 miles *** #campingnoire #GoddessHike #blackwomenwhohike #fallhikes #watchungreservation #gooutside #sisterhoodofblackhikers #hikingnoire #njhikes #representationmatters #mothernature #womenhelpingwomen #diversifyoutdoors #blackgirlmagic (at Watchung Reservation) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIR-JfLDyug/?igshid=jfcz6eiyof0b
