Come on out and meet others who are dedicated to hiking excursions near and far, with a focus on leaving no trace of litter on our lands! All levels of experience welcome. Dogs are welcome if friendly and on-leash (1 dog per person).

Be cognizant that assistant organizers and event leaders may, at their discretion, exclude members who have a history of repeated "No Shows" from participating in events that they are hosting. Egregious offenders will be banned from the group.

Meetup considers members active if they visit this website once every 2 months. Meetup does not require that you participate in any posted events to be active.

Please be aware that we expect you to take responsibility for your safety while we are out on the trails. This means arriving prepared, remaining aware and participating with the other really wonderful folks who are part of the group on hike day. We understand that your "Yes" RSVP to any event means you accept this.
