This Meetup group called OFFGRIDHIKERS. I started this group because I wanted to find and invite people to do some of the fun outdoors (and indoors) activities I had always wanted to do. There are many things to do under the sun…. I have been hiking, camping, whitewater rafting, scuba diving, balloon riding, and a lot more!. Beyond all that, many friendships were forged, and a group of great friends was created. These things we will be doing all over again.
Regardless of what you do, no matter where you go, the one thing that will make any trip memorable, When you travel with our group, whether you already know some of the people coming or not, at the end of the trip, you will feel like you have just gone on a trip with a group of your closest friends and will be looking forward to getting together again.
When creating your profile you are asked to provide a ‘Profile Picture' It is mandatory that you provide this and that they are recent picture of you. These pictures are used solely for the purpose of identification. We're going to see what you look like when you show up anyway. There are a lot of pictures taken along our hikes and they are often uploaded to the site afterwards. In the unlikely event that you should become separated from the group on a hike and end up lost, we need the picture to show to those that may volunteer to look for you. Fortunately this has not happened, we're looking to keep it that way. All pictures posted on this site become public domain, which means group members can see them and download them. As a condition of membership you agree to abide by all federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances, etc... Safety is first and foremost!
Off Grid Hikers this is a hiking group dedicated to hiking at a casual, relaxed pace. Most of the hikes will take place on Saturday and some Sundays mornings depending on the time of the year and how hot it will be, and throughout Los Angeles area and when possible we will be traveling for overnight camping. You can suggest hikes as well….
The hikes are mostly a slow pace, but we aim to have fun and to keep in shape. We also ask a $1 to $15 Donation for maintenance of the site. Not obligatory but if you feel that we done a good job annually.
Welcome to the group, we look forward to seeing you soon!
So come see the world with us!
