The Portland Hiking Meetup Group

This group is for people who enjoy hiking, being outdoors and socializing. We explore Oregon and Washington from the Coast to Mt. Hood, from Eastern Oregon to the San Juan Islands, from Three Sisters to Goat Rocks. The Gorge is a favorite and frequent destination as is Forest Park. We do outdoor activities year round for all skill levels; from 4 mile strolls to 20 mile expeditions; summer camping to winter snow shoeing and some pretty soggy hikes in between. All for the enjoyment of hiking, being outdoors and meeting new people. Beginners, experts, locals and new transplants are welcome. Join us in our next adventure.
