Alt Hiking

An alternative to the social/singles first hiking groups in the area.

Focusing on Hiking, Fitness, and Friendships. For those that "Just want to hike".

This group is for the intermediate to advanced hiker, that prefers hiking in smaller groups (under 12). Upon occasion we will post beginner and dog friendly hikes.

Please join us, we look forward to hiking with you.
