DO YOU LOVE HIKING & ADVENTURE?

DALLAS WILD LIFE is a group of easy-going people who love getting away from Dallas in addition to participating in tons of outdoors activities such as camping, backpacking, and hiking. We began creek walking in 2001 along the spring water corridors of Garland and gave our group the organization it needed by joining Meetup.com's calendaring system in 2004 before it became a subscription service. Since then, scores of local people have joined with us in sharing our love of the outdoors. Our favorite destinations include Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve; the Spring Creek Forest Preserve; Turner Falls, OK; Beaver's Bend, AR; Colorado Bend State Park; the Comal River in New Braunfels; the Guadalupe River in Gruene; Lost Maples State Park; Krause Springs/Pedernales Falls State Park in Austin; Hamilton Pool; and Zilker Park. Our favorite activities include hiking, backpacking, creek walking, anoeing, visiting caves, camping, and rock climbing! Most of ours favorite local hikes include spring water and forested trails! We target our road trips to include waterfalls, photography, swimming, fall color hikes, eco projects at local preserves, and even dog walks. We throw in a spattering of extreme sports to the calendar several times a year for those who like rafting, mountain biking, scuba diving, etc. Some of our more popular and unusual events include fossil hunting and zip lining. Please visit our photo album to see all the cool places we have been!

PHOTOS ON OUR HOME PAGE: If you are dying of curiosity, the photos on our home page have been taken by members of our group. The background photo rotates monthly to reflect one of our hikes. The smaller picture is usually a group shot or if a particularly outstanding image has been uploaded to the photos area it may be substituted. We have an unusually gifted bunch of photographers in our group and we are proud of them!
GET INVOLVED: We need Assistant Organizers and event sponsors! If you don't see your preferred activity listed, or if you don't see a hike on your side of town, please volunteer by contacting the Organizer! We welcome event & group sponsors who need a little publicity for a great price!

HIKING: For those of you new to the state of Texas, hiking has two definitions 1. to travel a far distance and 2. to climb upwards. While Texans primarily engage in the distance type of hiking, we do try to include trips to more mountainous elevations for variety. If you have suggestions, please feel free to make them.

PREMIUM MEMBERSHIPS: The majority of our events are free and led by volunteers. However, there are special cases where we must restrict attendance such as where alcohol is involved, or where there are expenses and private property involved. If you want to be a premium member but can't afford the $50 a year fee, please consider becoming a hike leader. Hike leaders earn their membership free of charge through hard work and contributing to the group. Contact the Organizer for full details 214*863*8555 or ask an assistant organizer at any event.
