I have always enjoyed the outdoors, hiking took me to another level of enjoyment. Photographing the flora and fauna, lots of fresh air and great exercise. While backpacking I realized my back quit hurting, crazy huh? But I truly enjoyed getting into places I normally would have not gone. Now when I read an article in Arizona Highways or Backpackers magazine, I know it’s possible to see it with my own eyes.  Eventually I evolved to the next level where I really enjoyed knowing I could live very happy off my back! Everything I really needed was at my fingertips. I also enjoyed the challenge of being able to go out for several days even weeks at a time. My husband was not as interested in backpacking as I was, so over time I found other ladies, co-workers & friends that were in the same situation as I was, this was the beginning of  Hiken Girls.
