Hiking for Health with the South Coast Striders
"I have two doctors, my left leg and my right"
---G. M. Trevelyan
The South Coast Striders is a hiking group which plans and delivers free hikes in cooperation with the Bay Area Hospital, and the Coos County Women's Health Coalition. We are just a bunch of hikers who hike regularly and welcome others to come along.
For information or to receive notification of upcoming hikes - send email to southcoaststriders@canopyweb.com.
Go to the schedule page for a list of the current year hikes.
Things you should consider before you begin hiking:
- Not everyone is ready for the physical demands of hiking. We suggest that everyone consult their physician before beginning a new exercise regimen.
- The American Heart Association offers the following guidelines for people who are starting or increasing their level of exercise.
- You may need to build up your physical stamina before attempting our hikes.
- The Coos County Women's Health Coalition offers some guides for starting and building a healthy walking habit.
