Girls Who Hike SC Official Events are organized using Eventbrite tickets. These tickets help us control the group size to ensure that we are following Leave No Trace principles, have enough parking spaces, and stay organized. If all the Eventbrite tickets are sold out, we highly suggest getting on our waitlist.
