Wishing all you ECHers a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!

Meet other local hiking enthusiasts. This group is full of mountain-climbers through beginners. We're full of serious hikers and then those just out for a little exercise. We're full of fast-paced hikers and slower "stop and smell the roses" kind of hikers. No matter which way you'd consider yourself there is guaranteed to be something for you!

We try to plan multiple events each month, with at least one overnighter a month (at least that's the plan :). Some trips are far away while others are in our "backyards". Some are long (15-20 miles) while others are just a few hour jaunt (5-6 miles).

But no matter which events you attend we have the friendliest group of hikers anywheres!
