What we’re about
Central Virginia Trailblazers was established in 2011 as an activity based hiking and outdoor adventure group in Richmond, Virginia. At the time, there were few if any active groups in the area that welcomed hikers and adventure lovers of all experience levels. Over the years, we have brought together over 3,000 like-minded individuals throughout Greater Richmond and beyond who have taken part in over 1,000 adventures.
Our activities reflect the diversity of our members. The hikes on our calendar range from casual, beginner-level strolls through local parks and neighborhoods to strenuous overnight backpacking trips in the Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition to hiking, other popular activities include car camping, kayaking, recreational biking, and social gatherings. Most activities and trips are within an hour or two of Richmond, but we often travel beyond Virginia’s borders for multi-day trips to other states.
A tremendous amount of planning and coordination is required to make these events happen. We are extremely fortunate to have an exceptional group of volunteer organizers (“Adventure Specialists”), all of whom donate their time, effort, talent, and experience to make these amazing trips possible. Their loyalty and dedication is one of the key reasons that CVT stands out from other groups.

Tacky Lights in Norfolk-let's take this show on the road! (Social)
Target - White Oak, 4521 S Laburnum Ave, Richmond, VA, USIt's Holiday time in RVA, but also in lots of other places around the state. In fact, one very special display in Norfolk won the coveted trophy this year on the Great Christmas Lights Fight. I'm talking about the USS Wisconsin aka Nauticus, in Norfolk. The ship and surrounding area has been transformed into a holiday wonderland. Additionally, they are offering 30 minute harbor cruises to see the illuminated skyline from the water. Join us for a very special non-hiking, purely social trip to Hampton Roads to check it out. To sign up- purchase your ticket here. Purchase a bundle ticket (cruise and winter fest admission) for the 6pm cruise for Saturday December 27. I just purchased mine and it was $42.80. Purchase your ticket ASAP as there only 2 cruises per night! We will carpool from Target leaving at 4pm. Carpool fee is $10.00 p.p. assuming a full vehicle. We will determine who is driving and divide up into cars when we meet at the carpool location.
Hope you can join us!11 attendees
