East Coast Hikers“ I think any person that enjoys the outdoors should join this group. Today was my first ever meet-up group and I found it to be better than I could ever imagine. Everyone was so welcoming (and energetic) and we all meshed very well. I got a chance to talk to everyone in the group. I got a lot of good advice for my future travels. We hiked for about 3 hours and I can't wait to go again! ”

East Coast Hikers“ This group seems to always have a hike scheduled. I like they way they make as much info about each hike available so you can decide if it fits your hiking level or not. Great way to exercise and enjoy being outdoors. The group members are very fun to be around as well which makes time fly by as you hike. ”

East Coast Hikers“ This has to be numbered in one of the healthiest groups to pick from - everyone loves the outdoors and each person I've met has been easy to be with. It's a really great group. Chris is a wonderful leader - generous, knowledgable, and definitely fun to be around. I think it's great because there are members of various backgrounds, all ages, and with such a variety of other interests - perfect for hiking conversation. ”

East Coast Hikers“ it is a great way to enjoy the outdoorss with the security of being in a group. i would frequently hike alone, both locally and out of town, and i have had a few bad situations i was lucky to survive. several of the people enjoy other similar pursuits, so it is a great way to make new friends without any pressure. ”

“ I didn't know what to expect and I was surprised how much I enjoyed walking through the woods. I was completely out of my comfort zone but soon felt right at home. It was invigorating and pleasantly exhausting. Nice group of people from the beginner to the obviously experienced. This was an awesome way to get out to exercise, explore, and enjoy life. ”

“ I could not find the meetup group. I showed up on time (10am), and didn't see them in the primary lot and I couldn't find any signs for the "overflow" lot they referenced in the directions. I drove around for 45 minutes stopping at anything that looked like a parking lot. I met someone else doing the same thing. They eventually gave up and left. I gave up looking and ended up walking by myself. ”
