Hiking Dayton and Beyond - Survey

Hello, Dayton Hikers!
In 2009 when Andy Niekamp founded Dayton Hikers, he never imagined that it would grow to almost 10,000 members. But here we are. This August, we are not only celebrating 16 years of Dayton Hikers, but are also welcoming home two of our most recent travelling hikers: Andy “Captain Blue” Niekamp and Mark “Bookmark” Ribbink. They are not the only Dayton Hikers who have travelled this year to hike. We have heard that many of you, too, have hiked outside of Dayton.

We would like to celebrate your hiking accomplishments in 2025 in two ways:

1. Please join us on Monday, August 18, 2025 at Sugarcreek MetroPark for a hike and ice cream celebration. HERE is the link to the event with details and to register to attend.

2. If you have hiked outside of Dayton this year, would you share it with us by answering the questions below and posting under "comments" ?

1. Where did you hike outside of Dayton? (name of trail and location)
2. How many miles?
3. Can you share a highlight of the trip?
   Thank you!
