Welcome!
The Las Vegas Hiking and Outdoors Meetup is the premier hiking group in the Las Vegas area! We offer more hikes to more places than any other group around. We feature hikes for all skill levels, road trips, camping, social gatherings, as well as a monthly Moonlight Hike. With 20+ Organizers and an average of more than an event a day, you're sure to find an activity to suit your fancy!
Know your limits.
As Organizers, we do our best to give accurate descriptions of the hikes we lead. If you are a beginning hiker, a hike's elevation and distance may not mean much to you. Likewise, difficulty ratings are subjective, and a hike that is Easy to one person may be Moderate to another. Err on the side of caution. You're much better off going on a hike that's too easy for you than a hike that's too hard for you. As you go on more hikes with us, you'll become more familiar with our ratings and our descriptions, and you'll learn your limits. Ultimately, it's up to you to keep yourself safe out there. You're an adult. Hike within your abilities.
Dues/Fees
There are no membership dues to be a part of this group. For most of our events, we ask a $1 donation at the trailhead, but it's totally voluntary and refundable.
