Every summer, women from all over New England depart on a mountain journey to help domestic violence survivors and their families. Whether you are an experienced outdoorswoman or have only dreamed of waking to a mountain sunrise-you can be one of them!
Wilderness Heals is a pledge hike that builds and engages a community of supporters to raise money for the Elizabeth Stone House.
The three-day, all-female hike covers several parts of New Hampshire's White Mountains. Wilderness Heals route options offer a range of trails accessible to individuals with varying levels of experience. Hikers spend three days hiking and two nights at Appalachian Mountain Club huts, which provide beds, blankets, dinner and breakfast.
