Article and Photos by Melynda Harrison CROSS MONTANA GROUPS OF WOMEN ARE BANDING TOGETHER FOR A LITTLE PHYSICAL EXERCISE AND A LOT OF COMPANIONSHIP. These hiking and running groups are made up of all levels of athletes—from walkers to five-minute-milers and peak baggers, but they have one thing in common: the desire to experience the outdoors with other women. A Sure, they want to share adventure and camaraderie, but these gals are also learning new skills, developing confidence, and making friends. Sometimes they are pushing them- selves to new levels of athleticism, other times they are working off a glass of wine or reducing stress. In addition to the groups listed below, there are clusters of friends all over the state that meet occasionally or regularly to hike or run. Some are in training for races or expeditions, others are hiking with their babies. Ask around to find the perfect group for you, and if you can't find one, start your own.
