This group is all about having good times in the great outdoors!
We do it in the mornings, evenings, and all weekends and are very flexible. Get your mind out of the gutter 'cause we are talking about hiking now people! Meet other people who enjoy exploring the outdoors while making new friends and focusing on the "leave no trace" philosophy.
Whether you are young, work, old, retired, laid off, shy, talkative, energetic, dork, brainiac, lazy (but don't want to be), recovering from an injury, or a competitive athlete, then this is a meetup for you!
Our hikes range from very easy mall walking and walks on paved paths, to very strenuous, steep climbs with rock scrambles to mountain summits. We hike rain, snow, or shine and enjoy Mother Natures diversity as well as our groups!
Looking for a group to climb a mountain summit with, hike 30 miles in one day, or simply take an easy trek in the woods, then you have found your home.
We share what we know with one another and value fellowship and camaraderie within our group and always keep a good sense of humor.
WARNING: Our calendar is very active and may become addictive and beneficial to your health!
You must post a picture with your profile so we will recognize you at the trailhead in addition to safety reasons as explained in our "About" pages and on our Message Board.
I hope to see you on the trail soon and let's have good times!
