Come explore the beautiful Chihuahuan Desert with other women, led by a female ranger or volunteer. Learn about best hiking practices and the unique desert ecosystems. This hike is open to women of all experience levels who are excited to spend more quality time outdoors.

This month we will hike the Schaeffer Shuffle trail. This is a moderately difficult trail of about 3 miles. It begins with a steep initial descent down an old jeep road, then transitions to a relatively well-maintained trail with technical sections into the canyon, leveling out along the ridgeline, then another steep and technical descent down the backside before becoming an easy leisurely stroll down the trail. We’ll reconnect with the old Jeep Road and have one final steep ascent back up to the start of the trail.
