About us
This group exists to foster community and friendships with like-minded individuals who enjoy both outdoor adventures and social experiences in NM. Whether you're drawn to hiking, backpacking, and sports - or prefer more relaxed activities, such as game nights, dinners, movies, and local events - you'll find welcoming company here!
The majority of our events focus on hiking, ranging from easy weekly sunset hikes to challenging treks, along with the occasional backpacking excursion. Each hiking event states its difficulty level (easy, moderate, or hard). Our event hosts are not certified guides however, so you're expected to hold your own.
If you're looking for a relaxing way to make friends, build community, and get out in nature we recommend joining our weekly social sunset hiking series! This beginner friendly trail has frequent breaks, sunset viewing, and an optional tavern hangout afterwards.
Beyond the trails, we also host many exciting social events - from movies to game nights, sports in the park, dinners, local festivals, Spanish practice, and more - so everyone has opportunities to connect in the ways they most enjoy!
Be sure to ask an event host about our active Discord server (with hundreds of members) when attending an event, so you can plan and attend get togethers outside of Meetup and deepen friendships.
We hope to see you soon!
