It's almost time for one of our perennial favorites: our Dog Days of August Hike on Saturday, August 17, 2024.

We’ll do a 3-4 mile suburban hike in Silver Spring, MD, with lots of shade. It's an easy up and down trail, however there is some uneven ground and it could potentially be a bit muddy. We will most likely walk for about an hour out and an hour back.

This is a very popular location for people to walk their dogs. We've heard from reliable sources that folks in the neighborhood do not appreciate dogs off leash on the Northwest Branch Trail. So to be respectful of our neighbors, doggies will need to be on leash at all times during this hike.

After our walk in the woods we’ll have a backyard picnic nearby.

This activity is open to members and non-members of Women Outdoors. Non-members are welcome to attend two WO events as guests. On your third event, we'll ask you to join the Mid-Atlantic Region of Women Outdoors. You can also join right now by clicking on this Join Us link.

Registration is limited to 20 participants and will close on Thursday, August 15th or when full, whichever comes first. A wait list will open up once we reach 20 participants.
