Greetings! We facilitate outdoor activities with a sensitivity for people of varied abilities. Our organizational strength is built on the camaraderie that develops from enjoying nature together. We are a non-competitive  group that encourages community and quality friendships, all while enjoying the beautiful outdoors of the Northwest! With plenty of hiking options around, you are sure to find a trail you'll enjoy!  Other activities we'll embark on from time to time include backpacking, camping, retreats, bicycling, kayaking/canoeing, picnics and plenty more..

We don't race up mountains. Our hikes are meant to be enjoyable and memorable! Meandering and photography are most welcome and strongly encouraged! Being safe is paramount on every hike/event we enjoy. No one will be left behind on the trail. Someone will always be nearby for help, support or just to simply be present. 

While we currently don't impose any annual dues or membership fees, we do ask each participant to help with fuel costs and other expenses connected with our activities and events.  For day hikes, we will suggest a monetary amount to help carpool drivers with fuel costs. Those amounts will be listed on each scheduled activity/meetup.   

Anyone is welcome. We are a diverse, easy-going, down to earth and respectful group. You are encouraged to bring family and friends, as well as other acquaintances! Families and kids are welcome!

We only request that you adhere to all safety rules and precautions, and practice Leave-No-Trace ethics and outdoor-related common sense. Doing this will help to make each outing an enjoyable one for all!

 

We look forward to meeting you and welcome your participation! Thanks for checking us out and we hope to see you on the trail soon!
