This is open to all female-identified individuals. From the parking lot, we'll walk the less travelled Berma Road trail south towards the far Billy Goat A trailhead. This is approximately 1.5 miles and overlooks the C&O canal.

We'll cross the canal and head the the Billy Goat A trailhead. Once on the trail, it's a beautiful hike and only 1.7 miles long. But, its worth the short distance and makes up for it in the Billy Goat description.

Once off the trail, its about a .5 mile walk back to the parking lot. Billy Goat does require GOOD, stable footwear. There are sections of rock scrambling / bouldering. Take your time and pay attention to your footing. This is a casual & fun outing, not a race. :) I'll make sure your safe & focused. This hike, you'll be using your hands to lean on things. So, wearing a water belt / backpack for water is strongly recommended. You'll want your hands free.

While dogs are not strictly prohibited, this probably won't be dog friendly outing (based on some scrambling and the potential temperatures).

Weather option: if weather makes section A undoable, we'll do section B. Meet location details are the same.

Gloves, layers, hat...good tread shoes. Carpool/caravan:

From Baltimore, its about a 50 minute drive to the meetup. For anyone who wants to carpool or caravan, answer the question and message ME YOUR CITY. I'll find centralized parking. Plan on post hike meal to warm up!!

BONUS: if enough interest, maybe I'll make goat milk mexican hot chocolate. :)
