What started as weekly hike meetups among a new group of mom friends, turned into a Facebook page with 4,000 Colorado Hiking Moms and growing!
Are you a hiking mom in Colorado looking for community - join our private Facebook Group. This is where we primarily operate and host events.
To join the Facebook Group, you will have to answer a few simple questions like if you live in Colorado and what your favorite hike is - and agree to our group rules! Once admitted, let the hiking fun begin 🥾
What kind of events are there? Members of the Colorado Hiking Mom Facebook Group host all kinds of nature-inspired events:
- Carrier Paced Hikes

- & more!
Who can host events? ALL Colorado Hiking Moms are welcome to host their own events!
How do I host events? Once admitted into the Facebook Group you will be able to host your own events. Head over to the ‘Events’ tab and begin to create your own. Be sure to include these components on your event page:
- Time & Date in MST
- Specific Title - Carrier or Toddler Paced? Location? Etc.
- All Trails link / link to directions in details
- Any other plans or details about the event
Pro tip: plan to give moms an extra 10-15 minutes to arrive after your posted start time! We’re all moms, we get it.
What is not allowed in the group:
- Self-promotion (i.e. for financial benefit)
- Bullying / trolling

What else does belonging to the CHM community mean? Finding your people while continuing to do something you love throughout motherhood! Or maybe you’re trying something new and looking for inspiration from the hiking mom community. Whatever it is, we welcome mothers from all walks of life to join us on the trail. We partner with brands our community loves, and have a lively buy-sell-trade thread on our page, to make gear and layers more accessible. We lift each other up, answer each others questions and empathize together.
“I found my people out on the trails, and that’s what sparked this community. My hope is that you, too, find lasting friendships through this community.” - Brianna Robles, co-founder
“Colorado Hiking Moms has been a godsend! I moved to Colorado with a newborn and zero connections - no friends, no family. I was desperately in need of community and mom-friends. During a late night nursing session, I stumbled on an Instagram comment that mentioned the group and immediately joined. I went on my first hike a few days later and the rest is history! I’m not new to outdoor recreation, but everything changes when you have a baby. This group has been an incredible resource for gear recommendations and practical tips, and it’s been a safe place to commiserate over parenting woes. Not only have I benefitted from this group, but my one-year-old is thriving surrounded by kind, confident, wild children. I am so thankfully to be living the adventure-mom life I always dreamed of, alongside this wonderful group of women!” - Emily Harris, member since 2021
