Wausau Women’s Hiking Club

The Wausau Women’s Hiking Club was created in June 2018 after Wausau Mama founder, Cheryl Wolken, participated in a Trailtessa Women’s event through the Ice Age Trail Alliance. When Cheryl realized that there wasn’t a women’s hiking group in Wausau, she decided to start her own. The group is for women who live in Wisconsin and are interested in hiking with a group. There are typically two hikes per month. (FREE)
