What we’re about
Welcome to 50+ Hiking and Activities - Tucson’s go-to Meetup group for active, adventurous, and young-at-heart adults who know life doesn’t slow down after 50. Whether you're a seasoned hiker, a sunset chaser, or someone who just loves good company and fresh air, you're in the right place. I understand summer is a challenge with the heat, but let's make some activities happen!
We organize hikes, outdoor adventures, social gatherings, and anything else that sounds fun (think: kayaking, backyard concerts, theater, stargazing, or early evening at Tumamoc Hill). Our vibe? Low-pressure, high-fun, and absolutely judgment-free.
Live in the Tucson area? Over 50? Like being outside or just meeting fun people? Come hang with us! We’re rebuilding after a quiet spell, so now’s the perfect time to jump in and shape what’s next.
Bonus: We love ideas. Got a trail in mind? An activity? Want to help host? Let’s make it happen—this group will thrive when members get involved. 🌵
DONATION: As you may have heard, in 2025 Meetup recently raised the cost of running a meetup to almost $460/yr.! We are asking for a $10/yr donation (but pay what you can, not required) to defray that cost. The fundraising link is on our group page, our goal is $460.
I look forward to a hike or event with you!

Monday morning hike Linda Vista trail plus option Seis Kitchen lunch
Linda Vista Trail, 730 E Linda Vista Rd, Oro Valley, Oro Valley, AZ, USBeautiful Linda Vista Trail. We will do approximately 2.6 mile, 439 ft elevation hike. Here is link to the loop hike:
Linda Vista loop
After hike as an option for you, we can go to Seis Kitchen which has a nice patio, great food, usually quick service, and is only a minute away on corner of Linda Vista and Oracle. (walk or drive over)
Easy Intermediate; note there is elevation and it can get rocky at sections so poles are recommended.
We will stop and re group as needed; take some pics, water breaks
It's not a race, but enjoyable time to be outdoors and enjoy the views. I'd recommend you are familiar with hiking in AZ and can hike at least 2.0 mph pace for this hike. I am fine with re grouping but I just don't want you to struggle if you aren't ready for it! You will feel the burn on some of this hike as you are going to have some elevation. I will make sure to keep track of everyone and re group at any turns if we have separation
Where:
Linda Vista Trailhead 730 E Linda Vista Rd, Oro Valley AZ
Meet: 930 am
