The Rochester Hiking Meetup Group

You have found the home of one of the most active outdoor hiking groups in the Western New York area. The Rochester Hiking Meetup Group is here to help people interested in hiking meet each other. We're active all year long. What's more, we have many members who are crossover members from other local Meetup groups, so opportunities to investigate and enjoy other interests abound.

RHMG should not be confused with a walking group, but we have scheduled activities suitable for hikers of varying abilities. Be sure to check individual hike descriptions for information about the level of difficulty, and contact the hike leader with more specific questions about the pace and terrain.

Please note that we regretfully do not allow pets at our activities.

See you on the trail soon!
