Newcomers are welcome! Feel free to review the additional information on the website and contact Debi (bwagorg2026@gmail.com) to inquire about joining BWAGs and to receive the new member information. After becoming a BWAG member, you can contact the coordinator below (or on the Group Contacts page) to get on the email distribution list for the activities and days you are interested in.

Please note that the groups meet at the Museum of the Rockies parking lot by the metal horse every Tuesday!!!

Check the Group Descriptions at the bottom of the page for more details.

**********************************************************************************

On Tuesday mornings, BWAGs meet by the horse sculpture in the parking lot of Museum of the Rockies, 600 W. Kagy Blvd. The destinations depend on preferences, weather, time constraints, etc., sometimes arranged ahead of time and sent to the group’s email list, and sometimes decided on Tuesday morning in the parking lot. Groups carpool to their destinations and enjoy beautiful Big Sky country, exercise, some natural history, and friendships. Drivers are reimbursed for gas and car wear & tear based on the distance driven and road conditions. (Informal rule of thumb: $2-4 for each total hour of driving.)

Summer: Wear hiking boots/hiking garb and bring water, lunch, sunscreen, and clothes for inclement weather. Weather in the mountains can be very unpredictable, and, difficult as it sometimes is to imagine, can become dangerously cold in a very short time. We leave at 8:00 or 8:30am (unless a special meeting time has been arranged beforehand) and usually return between 3:00 and 6:00pm in the afternoon.


Winter: Bring ski equipment, warm clothes (plus emergency clothing), lunch, water, sunscreen. We leave at 9:00am and usually return between 2:00 and 5:00pm in the afternoon.

 

Dues are two “dimes a time” ($10.00/yr) and go toward supporting local non-profit organizations that have helped the BWAGs during the year.

Newcomers are welcome!
Most women’s preferences can be met in one of the groups, and in all you will find friends and fun.

Group Descriptions and Contact Persons

Tailwaggers meet on Tuesdays at the Museum of the Rockies (MOR) parking lot (east end near the horse statue). We do not post an annual hiking schedule on the website. Decisions are made at the MOR with BWAGs offering suggestions of recent hikes or favorite hikes for the weather and season.

Tailwaggers are mostly trail hikers, but do appreciate opportunities to get off the beaten path. Hiking is generally a steady pace with distances of up to 15 miles or more possible, but generally around 10-12 miles. We do welcome dogs but like to keep that number down to a maximum of 5-6 dogs for the group; occasionally we may need to split up the group to lessen the impact on other hikers.                           Debbie Kasper (TailWaggers): dgkasper@gmail.com

For September the Tuesday group, formerly known as Troopers, will meet at the MOR at 8:30am As the days continue to shorten (3 mins/day), we will likely meet at 9am thereafter. (contact person TBD)

Vintage/Seasoned hikers meet on Tuesday’s at 9:00am at the MOR. Short or medium hiking outings to be determined at that time.
