What we’re about

"I chose the road less travelled… Now I don’t know where I am."

"Never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost, and you see a path. By all means, you should follow that." - Ellen Degeneres

"Bring a compass. It's awkward when you have to eat your friends." - Unknown

So maybe we caught your interest?

Quick note then I’ll tell you what we’re about. We’ve never gotten lost or had to look at members as a food source. This is Chattanooga Outdoor Adventures not the Donner Party (some of you will get that).

We enjoys the outdoors in all forms. Events like Hiking, Rafting, Kayaking, and everything else.

But wait there’s more! I sound like a Ginsu knife commercial. Let’s not let any of the Donners have one of those.

We also plan other great activities in and around Chattanooga. Not just hiking. Musical events, food and wine festivals. A concert in a cave, you get the idea

It’s an open group and would love to get everyone involved and plan a lot of different things. Inclusion and fun are key.

Not just hiking, Adventures of all kinds

A No Reservations Event-Southside Pizza Final Friday Night Eats for the summer cover photo

This is going to be the last installment until the end of Summer for my late Friday journeys to eating places within walking distances from my home.

I am taking June off from planning events. Don't worry there are plenty of things already on the calendar from our other awesome hosts and I am sure more to come.

I just need a break from planning and will attend all of their events I can. Maybe visit a few other groups too. Just to be a participant not a planner.

So we bring this back to where we first started back in March I think.

“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.” -Anthony Bourdain

Let's keep it simple. They have pizza and beer. Really good Pizza and beer. I like the big picnic tables outside to seat a big crowd and share some time.
