This group has some great local outdoorsy/adventure events.
As the main group leads for the group we do have some more involved adventures that take more planning than your average weekend hike or camping trip.
These are trek's to epic places. Bucket List Treks if you will.
Essentially there are 5 of them at the moment.
- Apr 25, 2025 Everest Base Camp Yoga Trek
- Aug 10, 2025 EPIC MACHU PICCHU via The Salkantay Trek
- Oct 12, 2025 Jordan: Dana to Petra Trek with bonus of Wadi Rum
- Jun 7, 2026 Mt Kilimanjaro Trek! One of the 7 Summits.
- Nov 2026 Patagonia (in progress).
Our plan is to repeat in two year. For example EBC again in 2027
This means you can chose one for 2025 and then a different for 2026, and in 2027 . . . do what you missed.
We have two other "trek adjacent" events. While not actual treks . . . this are active and rugged mostly outdoors adventure events with snorkeling and water activities.

- Galapagos Islands Adventure--Untouched Nature in all its Splendor! Small GroupDulles International Airport, Dulles, VA
It's a Meetup . . . in the Galápagos!!
This Meetup Event is for the nature lovers, for the curious explorers and the adventurers who want to experience nature in all its splendor & diversity.
The Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. It's a place where lizards swim, birds walk, and humans — for once — don't take center stage. In 1835 a 26-year-old Charles Darwin introduced the Galápagos Islands to the world with his theory of evolution.
As amazing as you think the Galápagos Islands would be, they exceed all expectations of our group in 2023! That sea lion above in our group photo is not a prop! It was very real, ready to play and pose for a picture. You can see sea lions, giant lizards and many other exotic and friendly creatures, waddling on the streets, playing in the sand or just chilling (sun bathing) on a bench!
We will explore and experience:
- The famous Galapagos penguin and blue footed boobies. Swim with sea turtles and sea lions.
- Tortuga Bay Beach for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or surfing with unique marine life.
- Get close and personal with the giant tortoises roaming in their natural habitat
- Explore the Tintoreras islet, home of the white tip sharks and its shark tunnel.
- Visit the Charles Darwin Station, to observe giant tortoises and their babies and learn about this majestic animal.
- Snorkeling around the shore of the Tijeretas Bay
- Boat ride to Kicker Rock with snorkeling
- Sailing to Santa Cruz Island.
- Sail to Isabela Island, the largest of the archipelago.
- Boat tour to Tuneles De Cabo Rosa, a formation of series of above ocean arches, creating an unique snorkeling experience.
- Explore cavernous underground Lava Tunnels.
- Tour the Galapagos rainforest habitat
- San Cristobal Island with visit to the Interpretation Center
- Visit to Los Gemelos, a haven for bird watchers!
