Black Bear Wilderness Hikers

This group was orginially dedicated to hiking Black Bear every other week. In late '24, we changed the focus of the group to hike Black Bear the last Saturday of every month.

We'll do this in conjunction with the Central Florida Adventure Seekers, a much larger group dedicated to doing a variety of activities across central Florida. If you're not a member of that group, I urge you to join. The link to that group is below.
