About Outside Women

Connecting women to the outdoors and community is our mission and purpose. Outside Women is an online publication for women outdoor enthusiasts featuring guides, tips, news and inspiration to stoke their passions.

Topics you’ll find on our site

Our original articles are written from a woman’s perspective across all things outdoor lifestyle – surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, skiing, snowboarding, camping, hiking, adventure travel, trail running, and more. We absolutely love the outdoors and our passion comes through in the content that we create and share.

It’s important to know what’s going on in the outdoor industry and changes that may impact our favorite outdoor recreational activities. We keep our community of readers in the loop by sharing outdoor industry news about important entities to our outdoor experiences, including the U.S. National Park Service and mountain ski resorts. You’ll find articles like Best Jobs for Women Who Love the Outdoors and the best passes for exploring state parks in our Outdoor News category.

Exploring nature is incredibly inspiring and going out into the wilderness can help us learn more about our place in the world and offer a new perspective. Our articles on spirituality explore our connection with nature, wildlife and our greater purpose in life. You’ll find spiritual articles relating to surfing, and other topics like animal spirit guides.

Stepping into motherhood is a beautiful life-changing experience, with an emphasis on life-changing! While everything in our day-to-day may seem different, our passion for the outdoors still burns bright. They say your love doubles when you share it with others, and that’s true for moms when they introduce their kids to the great outdoors. Outdoor-loving moms can find articles that inspire them to get on the trails, ski slopes and camping under the stars with their families under our Outside Moms category.

Authentic outdoor lifestyle content for women

Our articles and forum topics authentically share the adventures and lifestyles of outdoorsy women. Why create a site just for women who love the outdoors? Receiving advice on how to prepare for your next adventure can be more relevant and valuable coming from other woman who will be able to share tips specifically for women, like maintaining good hygiene while doing a hike-through.
