About us

Our story

In the summer of 2020, cousins Angie and Munah found themselves craving nature, adventure, and connection. They began hiking Philadelphia’s many trails, documenting their excursions on social media. With every post, their friends grew more and more excited to join the fun. What began as a casual weekend outing quickly grew, expanding to 16 active members and counting.

In the years since, PhillyHikingBeauties has evolved into a nonprofit women’s hiking group devoted to health and community.

We offer weekly hikes, fitness challenges, social activities, travel experiences, and philanthropic opportunities.
